==Blurb==

May and Drew are in a battle to reach the final four of the Grand Festival, and both Coordinators have some powerful combinations up their sleeve. May even picked up a few tricks from watching Ash's Battle Dome match against Tucker! Her Combusken and Squirtle give it their all against Drew's Flygon and Absol, and nobody in the arena can even predict which way things are going to go.

Once Flygon and Squirtle are knocked out, that's when things really get exciting. Absol's Water Pulse is bad news for a Fire-type like Combusken, but Combusken hangs in there and even comes up with an unexpected move, Overheat! Absol uses Water Pulse again but Combusken's Overheat protects it in the nick of time, and the clock runs out on the battle. It's up to the judges to decide the winner: May!

Elsewhere, Ash faces a battle of his own as he tries to catch the mischievous Aipom for once and for all. With Pikachu's help, he catches the Pokémon for his team and goes to watch May battle Solidad in the semifinals. Solidad knows exactly how to counter May's powerful battling style, and it's Solidad who goes on to win the Grand Festival. May is disappointed, but her friends cheer her up. Now it's off to the Battle Pyramid for Ash's rematch with Brandon!

==Plot==
The battle between {{an|May}} and her [[rival]] [[Drew]] in the quarterfinals of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] continues, with {{TP|May|Squirtle}} launching a {{m|Bubble}} [[Move|attack]] that fills the arena, while {{TP|May|Combusken}} glides through with {{m|Sky Uppercut}} for a combination that lowers Drew’s points. However, Drew’s {{p|Flygon}} evades, while a {{m|Razor Wind}} from Absol batters Squirtle and Combusken. Flygon follows on with a ferocious {{m|Flamethrower}} while Combusken counterattacks with {{m|Fire Spin}}, resulting in an explosion that pushes both Pokémon back and deducts points on both sides. Drew doesn't hesitate and calls for a "Dragon Formation" combo; Absol launches another Razor Wind and Flygon adds {{m|Dragon Breath}} to Absol's attack. Both Combusken and Squirtle attempt to dodge, but Drew's combination is so massive that both Pokémon end up struck. In the stands, {{an|Brock}} is impressed by Drew's combination, noting it must have taken an incredible amount of time to perfect it. {{Ash}} and [[Max]] call out to May, telling her not to give up. Backstage, [[Solidad]] watches with firm intent, while high in the bleachers, [[Harley]] notes that Drew has finally stopped going easy on May. Flygon and Absol rush forward with a {{m|Steel Wing}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} respectively. As the two opponents close in, May evaluates the situation and directs Combusken and Squirtle to launch a Fire Spin and Bubble combination, scoring a direct hit on the opposition. Ash and Max instantly [[AG153|recognize]] the combination as being similar to the combination used by [[Tucker]] at the [[Battle Dome]]. Brock compliments May on drawing experience from recent travels. Solidad wonders how Drew will respond to May's counter. Harley is infuriated by May's display, inferring that she thinks he isn't skilled enough to face her strongest combinations. As multiple members of the audience watch his tantrum, he directs multiple violent threats at May.

The [[Contest Battle]] timer slides to just below four minutes while Drew and May continue the match. Squirtle withdraws into its shell and uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Absol uses {{m|Flash}}, blinding Combusken but having no effect on Squirtle. Flygon attempts to use its Steel Wing attack to divert Squirtle but only manages to knock him above the arena. With Flygon's back turned, Squirtle launches a devastating array of Bubbles towards Flygon. Absol responds to divert the attack with Razor Wind, but Combusken intervenes with his Fire Spin, allowing the Bubble attack to hit Flygon. Upon Squirtle's descent, he strikes down with a finishing {{m|Ice Beam}} just inches away from Flygon, [[fainting|knocking it out]]. As Squirtle begins its final descent, Absol takes advantage of the time and uses Iron Tail to launch Squirtle into a stadium wall, rendering Squirtle unable to battle. Both May and Drew recall their unconscious Pokémon.

The Contest battle now resumes as a one-on-one fight with May's Combusken against Drew's Absol, and two minutes remaining on the clock. Combusken uses {{m|Mega Kick}} and Absol launches into an Iron Tail, with each side scoring a hit on the opposition. Absol manages to strike with an additional Razor Wind hitting Combusken for a direct hit before he is able to recover, knocking more of May's points off. Combusken launches another ferocious Fire Spin, but Absol blocks it with a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack, scoring a supereffective hit. As the water dissipates, Combusken's body begins glowing red, and May is instantly reminded of [[Ash's Torkoal]] as a large amount of steam begins forming around its body. She realizes Combusken has just learned a new move - {{m|Overheat}}. Drew doesn't hesitate to attempt to gain the advantage and directs Absol to launch another Razor Wind towards Combusken. As the attack approaches, Combusken uses Overheat, generating an extraordinary amount of firepower that blocks Absol's attack and hits for direct damage. May calls for another Overheat attack, though it is weaker than the last, and Absol’s counterattack with Water Pulse dissipates the {{type|Fire}} attack. As steam fills the air, Absol glides forward, attempting to blind Combusken with Flash, but Combusken flips forward and blocks out the light with its feet. Combusken uses the advantage of the close range by launching another devastating Overheat attack which engulfs Absol in the magnificent flames. Up in the stands, Ash and Brock become concerned that May is overusing her new attack, taking note of how Combusken seems burnt out from repeated usage of Overheat. Absol manages to shake off the attack, and the added shimmer effect also negates some of May’s points. Drew notices Combusken's fatigue from the continual Overheat attacks and takes advantage of Absol striking forward with a Razor Wind, hitting Combusken for direct damage. Absol strikes forward with another Water Pulse attack. Combusken manages to use another Overheat attack with a much weaker force, and it proves ineffective against the Water-type attack. The water engulfs Combusken, leaving May with precious few points. To everyone's surprise, however, Combusken is still able to continue. Absol rushes in to strike with Iron Tail, propelling itself into the air. May smiles and orders Combusken to use Sky Uppercut, much to Drew's shock. Combusken drags its claws along the stage floor to generate sparks. Combusken soars into the air and scores a direct hit just as the battle timer expires. May is announced as the winner of the close round and wins a place in the semifinals. May's friends are overjoyed with the result, while Drew offers his nod of approval as well. Brock realizes that May was intentionally using Overheat over and over again to lure Drew in close so that she could attack with Sky Uppercut to finish the battle.
[[File:Ash catching Aipom.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash after catching Aipom]]
As the stadium showers May with applause, {{an|Aipom}}, who arrived earlier in the match and had been awed by the display, begins jumping with joy, swiping [[Ash's hat]] once more, and rushes out of the arena. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} give chase, though the pursuit quickly ends when Aipom simply throws Ash's hat back to him. Aipom begins leaping on the spot with fists ready, and Ash realizes she wants to battle. So, Ash begins his second attempt to try to capture Aipom as Pikachu blazes forward with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Aipom evades the attack and uses {{m|Swift}} making direct damage. Pikachu recovers and counterattacks with his Iron Tail. Aipom quickly recovers from the attack and replies with a {{m|Focus Punch}} which knocks Pikachu to the ground. Aipom continues jumping up and down in excitement. Ash loves Aipom's spunk and battling spirit and has Pikachu unleash a devastating {{m|Thunderbolt}}. As Aipom is stunned by the attack, Ash launches a {{i|Poké Ball}} at Aipom. The Poké Ball's brilliant red light shines off and on before finally stopping, marking that {{AP|Aipom}} has finally been caught. As Ash collects his newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, an audience of people around him begins applauding. [[Scott]] soon arrives on the scene, instantly getting Ash's attention.

May and Drew watch backstage as Solidad wins her second-round match with her {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Lapras}}. Drew warns May that Solidad will be a tough opponent, and she cannot be beaten with power alone. Soon May’s semifinal clash with Solidad is well underway. Solidad has chosen her {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Slowbro}} while May has chosen {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and Combusken. With two minutes remaining in the match, Solidad still has over two-thirds of her score, while May's points have been depleted to only one-fourth. Munchlax launches forward with a {{m|Focus Punch}} while Slowbro uses its {{m|Psychic}} attack to rotate around and counterattack, dissipating Munchlax's attack and knocking him backward. Combusken's devastating Fire Spin momentarily envelops Pidgeot, though Solidad calls for a {{m|Feather Dance}}. The extraordinary feathers dissipate the flames and begin raining down on Combusken and Munchlax. Slowbro uses {{m|Yawn}} which puts Combusken to sleep.

Up in the audience, Ash and Max painfully note how the battle just keeps getting worse and worse for May. Even Brock is stymied as to how Solidad is dictating the battle's pace so effectively, though Scott can easily see how. May orders a {{m|Solar Beam}} attack from Munchlax, but Slowbro uses Psychic to evade it while Pidgeot launches into a {{m|Double Team}} formation that strikes Combusken. Scott explains that Solidad has succeeded in getting May to attack with powerful attacks over and over again and easily dodge them, leading to big points being stolen. Scott also notes that May's strategy is quite similar to the gameplan Ash seems to consistently favor - heavy offense with dazzling attacks. As this is the strategy Solidad normally uses herself, Scott explains Solidad recognized that continuing to do so would play to May's strengths, just as it did during her battles against Harley and Drew. Since May has watched Ash battle ever since she was a novice, she unconsciously adopted his approach to battling, and it is proving to be completely ineffective against Solidad's adjustments. Slowbro launches a finishing {{m|Hyper Beam}} as Pidgeot speeds forward with an {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and the two attacks knock both of May’s Pokémon out, advancing Solidad to the Grand Festival finals in a lopsided fashion. May shows her support for Solidad with a respectful bow, though she is clearly upset by the loss. She greatly thanks Munchlax and Combusken for their efforts in getting her to the top four. Heading backstage, May meets up with Ash, Brock, and Max who compliment her on her amazing campaign. Despite the compliments, May cannot help but be devastated over her loss and begins to cry. As she sobs, her friends comfort her, knowing that she's still made a big step on her journey. Later, Solidad wins the Kanto Grand Festival and is presented with the magnificent [[Ribbon Cup]], with the stadium filled with applause from the crowd and confetti.

Later that night, an after-party is held for all the participating contestants. Drew begins to leave as May manages to catch up to him holding a solitary rose. She wishes him an exuberant parting as he walks off dispersing into the distance. May, as confident as ever, is now ready to head towards the artful [[Battle Pyramid]]. Scott tells Ash that the Battle Pyramid is near the ruins of [[Fennel Valley]], and Max reviews his [[PokéNav]] and finds that Fennel Valley isn't too far from the [[Indigo Plateau]]. With that, the group finally advances onto the final stretch of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} adventure.

==Trivia==
* This episode is the last to feature the [[Pokémon Trivia Quiz]]. The final ten episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' had no special feature, but {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lectures returned in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''.
* This episode concludes the three-part [[Kanto Grand Festival]] arc.

* The [[Magikarp salesman]] is part of the crowd that watches Ash {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Aipom.
* Not only does {{TRT}} not recite their motto or blast off as with the rest of the arc, but [[James]] and {{MTR}} have only one line each in this episode.
* {{an|Brock}} narrates the preview for the [[AG183|next episode]].
* Like ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', the third and final episode of the region's [[Grand Festival]], has May battle Drew, and Ash's plot revolves around his sixth party member.

===Errors===
* None of the moves used in May and Drew's battle during the previous episode affected their scores at all. {{p|Absol}} had even landed a direct hit on {{TP|May|Combusken}} with {{m|Iron Tail}} in that episode, but the first deduction of points occurred in this episode—and to Drew—when Combusken uses {{m|Sky Uppercut}} while surrounded by {{m|Bubble}}, a combination that failed.
* After {{TP|May|Squirtle}} appears above {{TP|Drew|Flygon}}, Drew's eyes are blue instead of green.
* After Water Pulse hits Combusken, May's score bar is larger than before.
* When Drew tells Flygon to use Steel Wing for a second time, the tip of Flygon's tail has its colors reversed.
* When {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} hops in excitement before stealing [[Ash's hat]], her right foot has a line through it.
* When Ash throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} at Aipom, the crowd disappears.
* In the English dub, the last time {{m|Razor Wind}} hits Combusken, Ash comments that the scores are even when the scoreboard just showed that Drew is clearly in the lead.

===Dub edits===
* In two oddly violent lines, [[Harley]] threatens to "wring her tiny neck with that bandanna" after May uses her Fire-and-Water tactic and "pound that puny punk" when she defeats Drew.

'''Sidian''' (Japanese: '''オニキス''' '' Onyx''<ref>Explorers Original Acrylic Stand</ref>) is an admin of the [[Explorers]] and a recurring major antagonist in {{aniseries|HZ}}. In the ''Mega Voltage'' arc, he and [[Coral]] promote new products of [[Exceed]].

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Sidian.png|250px|left|thumb|Sidian prior to the ''Mega Voltage'' arc]]
====Pre-series====
Sidian was one of the members recruited by [[Hamber]] to follow Gibeon's mission, being trained by him personally along with the other members of the team barring [[Spinel]]. Among the four who were recruited and trained by Hamber, he was the third to be recruited, after [[Amethio]] and [[Coral]].
===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Sidian first appeared as a hologram in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', alongside the other [[Explorers]]'s admins. The first time he spoke and was seen clearly was in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', judging [[Spinel]] over his last failure.

He made his physical debut in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. At [[Hamber]]'s request, Sidian and [[Coral]] accompanied him to the [[Galar]] [[region]]. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], after tracking down [[Amethio]]'s location, the group arrived at the [[ancient castle]] where [[Diana]] was living at. Despite Hamber ordering them to stay on standby while he secured their target, Coral and Sidian invaded the location. He had his {{p|Garganacl}} indiscriminately take out the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in the castle before he and Coral cornered [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], only to be stopped by the sudden arrival of [[Captain Pikachu]]. Once Cap took out Sidian's Garganacl, Coral snapped and recklessly ordered her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, allowing the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to escape and leaving the ancient castle in ruins.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', Sidian and the other admins joined in a meeting to discuss the Explorers' next objective. Eventually, they decided to go after the [[Black Rayquaza]].

In ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', Sidian and Coral arrived in a seaside town in [[Paldea]]. Coral had led him there under the guise of finding something important, which was actually some rare Wiglett sweet buns. However, upon finding out they had sold out and that Liko and Roy had managed to get a box without even lining up, she left them a challenge letter on the back of [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. While Coral faced Roy, Sidian stepped in to take Liko on. Despite the rough start, the young Rising Volt Tacklers refused to give up and eventually broke through their foes' strategies. Impressed, the two Explorers decided to stop holding back, but were forced to withdraw after Sidian received a call to take part in mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Sidian, Coral, and [[Chalce]] summoned the Black Rayquaza near [[Levincia]] by using a machine that generated an energy similar to that {{an|Terapagos}} emitted [[HZ033|previously]] and had their Pokémon battle against the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}. They started strong, unleashing powerful super effective moves, but lost control over Rayquaza once [[Dot]] managed to shut down the machine. Once again, Coral let her temper overcome her better judgment and commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. The resulting explosion was powerful enough to blast the [[Legendary Pokémon]] directly into the hull of the [[Brave Olivine]].
[[File:Sidian Naranja Academy.png|250px|thumb|Sidian as Seasoning]]
In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', along with Coral, Sidian enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]]. Sidian introduced himself to [[Clavell]] under the name '''Seasoning''' (Japanese: '''オニギリ''' ''Onigiri''), much to Coral's amusement.

In ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]'', Sidian was caught spying on Liko, Roy and Dot along with Coral by Clavell, believing that they were just wanting to know about their Academy colleagues, Clavell invited them both to watch Dot's battle against [[Iono]], but eventually, Sidian left Clavell talking alone when Coral decided to go after food and Sidian went after her.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', it was revealed that Sidian managed to pass the first phase of Tera Training. During the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], Sidian confronted [[Rika]] alongside [[Tulip]], but was defeated for insisting on protecting his ally's Pokémon. After a brief conversation with the Gym Leader about why this happened, Sidian left so Rika could begin her battle against Liko.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Sidian and Coral were seen with the other students during Clavell's speech that began the second part of the Training. Despite this, his Gym challenge was not revealed.

In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Sidian decided to have food at the [[Anything Goes Café]]. Shortly after entering, he encountered Liko, Roy, and Dot again. When Dot's {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} accidentally crashed into Sidian's leg, he mistakenly assumed Dot had challenged him to a [[Pokémon battle]]. Seeing this as an opportunity to advertise and bring customers to the struggling eatery, Dot accepted the challenge and used Quaxly to battle Sidian's Garganacl. During the battle, the collision of Garganacl's {{m|Salt Cure}} and Quaxly's {{m|Low Kick}} caused salt to spread across the street, attracting the attention of customers. Although confused the battle ended without a winner, a hungry Sidian decided to partake in the eatery's new menu item, which he enjoyed.

In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', Sidian and Coral surrounded Roy and Dot on Spinel's orders, abandoning their student disguise. In [[HZ065|the next episode]], Sidian and Coral battled against Roy and Dot to stall them, but before Coral's Glalie could finish off their opponents, they were interrupted by [[Grusha]]'s arrival, so Chalce commanded the two admins to retreat. At their base the Explorers Admins gathered to ask Amethio if he had betrayed the Explorers by helping out Liko in escaping from a cave after seeing the footage recorded by Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}} and why he did not catch Terapagos when he had the chance. Before Amethio could give a proper explanation, Gibeon arrived and expelled his grandson from the Explorers for helping their enemies.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', while Chalce hacked Naranja Academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos, Sidian and Coral were ordered to prevent anyone from interfering with the mission. Later, on top of the academy's bridge, he encountered Liko, who had been made aware of the sabotage and went to confront the Explorers. Garganacl initially fought evenly with Floragato, only for the former to gain the upper hand once Sidian Terastallized it. Refusing to back down, Liko Terastallized Floragato as well, giving her enough of a boost to defeat Garganacl. After his defeat Sidian acknowledged Liko's strength and told her not to forget his name before leaving and taking Coral with him, much to her anger. In the [[HZ067|following episode]], Sidian and Coral reflected over their defeats before enjoying a rice ball and sandwich, respectively.
[[File:Explorers Rising Volt Tacklers Laqua.png|thumb|left|250px|The Explorers encountering the Rising Volt Tacklers in [[Laqua]]]]
In [[HZ079]], Hamber ordered Sidian and Coral to follow the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Area Zero]]. In the [[HZ080|next episode]], Sidian was observing the Rising Volt Tacklers, but had to find Coral when she went off on her own. After finding her, Sidian noted that she caught a {{p|Scream Tail}}. In [[HZ081]], Sidian and Coral witnessed the Rising Volt tacklers' battle against [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] and Rayquaza from a distance. At the [[HZ082|end of the battle]], they departed from Area Zero to report their findings to their fellow Explorers.

In [[HZ083]], Sidian and Coral attended a meeting with the other Explorers where they reported the events that happened in Area Zero. Gibeon instructed everyone to prepare for the battle that will follow in Laqua.

In [[HZ085]], after Pagogo removed the barrier keeping Laqua sealed, Liko, Roy, and Dot were greeted by Sidian, Coral, and Chalce. In [[HZ086|the following episode]], the Explorers admitted they were aware of Laqua's location from the beginning and just waited for the Rising Volt Tacklers to take down the barrier for them. Having achieved their goal, the Explorers decided to get rid of the Rising Volt Tacklers by battling them. Sidian used Garganacl to battle Liko's Floragato, but despite his defensive tactics, Liko was able to gain the upper hand.
[[File:HZ095.png|thumb|250px|Sidian and Coral one year after the events in Laqua]]
In [[HZ087]], the Explorers continued to prevent Liko's group from heading further into Laqua, only to be attacked by [[Onia]] and [[Zirc]]. This distraction allowed Liko, Roy, and Dot to run ahead and confront Gibeon. Later, Sidian and his allies supported Gibeon by utilizing machines designed to stimulate the ground where the Laquium was buried, forcibly activating it and making it expand uncontrollably. Sidian, Coral, and Chalce used their Pokémon to block any incoming attacks that would damage the machines.

In [[HZ089]], once the Laquium had been purified by Pagogo and the Six Heroes, Sidian watched in shock as Gibeon's body faded away. Disappointed by his former leader's failure, Spinel announced that he would surpass Gibeon and that the Explorers would take control of Laqua. Sidian and Coral objected to Spinel's sudden ambitions, but were told by Chalce to just keep watching. Using a device he developed, Spinel infected five of the Six Heroes with Laquium. The infected heroes run wild, causing Laqua to begin collapsing on itself.

In [[HZ095]], a year later Sidian and Coral were at the [[Exceed's Test Center]] showcasing the use of Laquium with the [[Strong Sphere]]s in battle. While Coral was entertaining the crowd, Sidian soon spotted Liko and Roy among them and informed her of it. Since the public did not know the identities of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they decided to pull the two in for a Double Battle, where they were evenly matched. The two admins resorted to using the Strong Spheres to defeat {{p|Crocalor}} and {{p|Meowscarada}}, though both were ignorant to the harmful effects of Laquium towards their own Pokemon. After [[Uruto]] intervened with his {{p|Sableye}}, Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which did nothing to Sableye and merely allowed Liko, Roy, and Uruto to escape. Afterward, Sidian and Coral met with Chalce, who noted that as long as the Explorers have the public on their side, Liko's group couldn't do anything to them.

===Character===
[[File:Cornbread and Seasoning.png|thumb|left|250px|Sidian and Coral]]
Sidian overall appears to have a serious and stoic personality, hardly showing strong emotions at times, although he can still get frustrated or irritated when insulted by others, such as his fellow admin [[Coral]]. He usually obeys the orders of his superiors such as [[Hamber]] without much issues. Like Coral, Sidian can at times be less disciplined and more aggressive than his fellow admins, though less often than Coral. Sidian has a ruthless and combative disposition when operating, as seen during the siege on [[Diana]]'s castle where he not only disobeyed orders to standby, but also commanded his {{p|Garganacl}} to indiscriminately attack and take out every Pokémon in his path by having them inflicted with {{m|Salt Cure}}. In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' he had his Garganacl attack both a security guard and his Psyduck with Salt Cure for getting in their way, further showing his ruthless nature.

Nonetheless, Sidian has his own personal limits and considers even Coral's volatile actions to be reckless. Sidian is notably level-headed and calm, and because of this he often stays around Coral to keep her volatile behavior in check. In line with his level-headedness, he appears to be surprisingly honorable, as shown in ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', politely asking Liko to be his opponent and to fight with honor, without the use of dirty or underhanded tactics. Sidian's sense of honor is further shown in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', telling [[Rika]] that he couldn't allow [[Tulip]], his [[Tag Battle]] partner, to suffer to guarantee his victory, and further remarking there's no point in disgraceful victories. His sense of honor and personal limits is further shown in [[HZ089]], where he initially objects to Spinel's ruthless and unethical actions in unleashing the Laquium on the [[Six Heroes]] and taking over the Explorers. However, Sidian's willingness to subject his Garganacl to the effects of the Laquium without care for its pained condition and even have it brutalize defeated opponents ultimately prove his actions antithetical to his supposed morals.

===Pokémon===
As seen so far, Sidian appears to specialize in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.

|desc={{p|Garganacl}} is Sidian's first known Pokémon as well as his main partner. It is capable of {{Tera}}stallizing into a Rock type.

In ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', Garganacl indiscriminately defeated most the Pokémon living at the [[ancient castle]] before being used to battle [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. [[Captain Pikachu]] arrived in time to rescue them and Garganacl tried to hit him with Salt Cure, but Pikachu was able to avoid it and hit Garganacl with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, temporarily taking it out of the fight. However, when [[Coral]] recklessly commanded {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, much to Sidian's protest, Garganacl was unfortunately defeated by Glalie's attack, which took Glalie itself out as well.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Garganacl was used by Sidian in the battle against [[Rika]]. Largely because of their way of battling, Sidian and Garganacl were easily defeated.

In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Garganacl was used by Sidian in the battle against [[Dot]] and {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}. The battle ended without a winner after Dot decided to use the aroma of the new noodles and the salt that spread in the battle to attract new customers to [[Anything Goes Café]].

In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Garganacl and Glalie teamed up yet again against Roy's Fuecoco and [[Dot's Quaxwell]]. The battle remained firmly on Sidian and Coral's side up until [[Grusha]] interfered to protect Roy and Dot from the Explorers duo. Once Chalce ordered Sidian and Coral to retreat, Garganacl was [[recall]]ed. In [[HZ066|the next episode]], Garganacl was used to battle [[Liko's Floragato]], and although it used Recover to heal itself, it was defeated after both Pokémon were Terastallized, forcing Sidian to retreat.

In [[HZ086]], Garganacl battled Floragato once more. Despite having an advantage in power, defense, and Terastallization, Floragato was able to gain the upper hand on Garganacl. The battle was interrupted by [[Friede]], [[Onia]], and [[Zirc]] in the [[HZ087|following episode]].

In [[HZ095]], Garganacl was used alongside Glalie to battle {{p|Meowscarada}} and Crocalor, being empowered by Laquium. It defeated both opponents before they could use Terastallization without even hearing its Trainer's commands. After [[Uruto]]'s intervention and Coral's reckless use of Self-Destruct, Uruto, Roy, and Liko then managed to escape.

Garganacl's known moves are {{m|Salt Cure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Recover}}, and {{m|Heavy Slam}}.

'''Ann''' (Japanese: '''アン''' ''Ann'') is a character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She was a student at [[Indigo Academy]] and a friend and roommate of [[Liko]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|left|250px|thumb|Ann and Liko]]
Ann first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She met [[Liko]] when she arrived at the room they were sharing together. After getting the [[Pokédex]] installed on her [[Rotom Phone]], she selected {{p|Oshawott}} to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]. The next day, Ann had her first ever Pokémon battle, using Oshawott to battle against [[Liko's Sprigatito]], which was soon called off. One night, Ann spotted Liko looking at [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s pendant and asked about it.

After Liko noticed how close she and Oshawott were compared to how close she was with her Sprigatito, Ann gave her advice. When the time came for a school break, Ann headed home, leaving Liko at the academy.

Ann reappeared in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', when she spoke to Liko after she had joined the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

In ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Ann spoke to Liko when she attended a class online. During the conversation, the two talked about the live stream that [[Dot|Nidothing]] would do in a few hours.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', she contacted Liko and revealed that she had acquired her second Pokémon in the form of her {{p|Sandshrew}}.

In [[HZ035]], Ann spoke with Liko before class and noted that she had caught a {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}. Ann appeared again when Liko gave her presentation for class.

In [[HZ046]], Ann arrived at [[Naranja Academy]], having enrolled as a student. After reuniting with Liko, she met [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] and had a battle with Liko, using her {{p|Dewott}} to battle against {{p|Floragato}}. After a tough battle, Liko emerged victorious.

===Character===
[[File:Ann and Oshawott.png|250px|thumb|Ann and Oshawott]]
Ann is an energetic girl who is very extroverted. She has a habit of being messy, but is shown to be considerate, keeping her mess to herself. She expresses concern and encourages her friend [[Liko]] to try and understand her partner Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Ann revealed that she wants to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that focuses on {{pkmn|battle}}s, while Liko was still figuring out her path at the time.

'''Diamond Storm''' (Japanese: '''ダイヤストーム''' ''Dia Storm'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is the [[Signature move|signature move]] of {{p|Diancie}}.

==Effect==
===Generation VI===
Diamond Storm deals damage. It has a 50% chance to raise the user's {{stat|Defense}} by one stage for each Pokémon that it hits. If it increases the user's Defense stat more than once from a single use, the stat raising animation will only play once, but a message stating that its Defense rose will appear for each increase.

===Generation VII===
Diamond Storm now has a 50% chance to raise the user's {{stat|Defense}} by two stages if it hits, rather than only one.

===Generation VIII onwards===
In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Diamond Storm could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Diamond Storm cannot be selected in a battle.

'''Diancie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアンシー''' ''Diancie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Diancie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Diancie''' using the [[Diancite]]. This Pokémon is considered a relative of {{p|Carbink}}.

Diancie was officially revealed in the March 2014 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine.

==Biology==
Diancie is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a vaguely humanoid appearance. Its lower body is a conical, gray rock with a large, pink diamond in the side. Its upper body has two arms and is covered by a white material that resembles a dress. Its small, mitten-like hands poke out of the sleeves. Around its neck is a golden, half-circlet with a pink diamond in the center. Its head is gray with purple eyes that have red sclerae and pointed ears. On top of its head is a collection of pink crystals forming a headdress. There are four spike-like crystals along the top, a long crystal on either side hanging downward, and a large circular centerpiece on its forehead. There is a small, golden piece hanging off the center crystal and a small pink diamond embedded in the back of its head.

Diancie is born from a {{p|Carbink}} that undergoes a mysterious mutation. It can instantly create diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air. Diancie uses these diamonds to both attack and defend itself<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160403205622/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/diancie/</ref>, as evidenced by its [[Signature move|signature move]] {{m|Diamond Storm}}. Diancie's pink, glimmering body is said to be one of the most loveliest sights to experience in the world. Diancie is also said to be one of the most beautiful Pokémon seen in the world. Diancie is found living in underground caves filled with diamonds such as the [[Diamond Domain]], a crystal kingdom where it reigns as queen over many Carbink, as it has occasionally been seen traveling or living with others. Diancie can speak through telepathy, as depicted in the movie [[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]].

===Forms===
Diancie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Diancie.

[[File:Diancie Mega Evolution.png|thumb|left|150px|Diancie Mega Evolving]]
As Mega Diancie, its white dress becomes longer and loses its sleeves. Its lower body turns into a pink crystal and is surrounded by a series of long crystals similar to those on its headdress. On the back, both the dress and the crystals are longer, and additional, smaller crystals are suspended from the tips of the larger ones. The tips of the circlet around its neck curve outward and there is an additional half-circlet around its waist. The centerpiece of its headdress is now heart-shaped, and the remaining crystals are slightly smaller. The crystals hanging from the sides of its head have additional crystals suspended from the tips, and there is an additional hanging crystal on the back of its head. The diamond on the back of its head becomes rounded and two smaller gems form at the lower corners. Two ribbon-like structures grow from these additional gems; each ribbon has two small crystals suspended from the tips. The head diamond measures over 2,000 carats.

Thanks to the [[Infinity Energy|Mega Evolution energy]], Diancie's manipulation over diamonds has grown so much, that Mega Diancie can now create a sword out of them during battle. Due to the impurities on the surface of body having fallen away, Mega Diancie can now shine so brilliantly that when reflecting light, one cannot look directly at it. In this form, it was known as the "'''Royal Pink Princess'''" due to its colors and appearance<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150218152412/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-diancie Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Diancie]</ref>. Due to it being blessed with both beauty and skill, Mega Diancie can easily adapt quickly to any situation.

Diancie debuted in this chapter, where it was mentioned by [[Gurkinn]] as he was escaping the destruction of the [[Tower of Mastery]] in ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]''. It was sought after by the owner of the [[Shabboneau Castle]], who sent his butlers out to obtain Diancie in ''[[PS569|Glittering Diancie]]''. One of the butlers, actually a thief, found Diancie and attempted to steal it. With the help of Gurkinn, [[Diantha]], and [[Korrina]], the thief was defeated and sent running away. Afterward, Diancie left with its Carbink companions to find a new home.

The same Diancie reappeared in [[PS603]], where it rescued {{adv|Ruby}} and {{p|Latios}} from drowning after they were knocked into the sea. Later, Diancie entered a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]] with Ruby and, using the [[Diancite]] Ruby had obtained from {{p|Hoopa}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into a Mega Diancie.

==Trivia==
* Diancie shares the same {{pkmn|category}} name as {{p|Carbink}}. They are both known as the Jewel Pokémon.
* Diancie is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]]. It is also the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] that is capable of Mega Evolution.
* Diancie is the only {{type|Rock}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Stone Plate]].
* Diancie is tied with {{p|Carbink}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Mega Diancie has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Rock-type Pokémon, as well as the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Fairy-type Pokémon. Mega Diancie is also tied with:
** Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} for the highest base stat total of all Rock-type Pokémon.
** Crowned Sword {{p|Zacian}} for the highest base stat total of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
* Mega Diancie's Defense and Special Defense decrease is the largest single stat decrease of all Mega Evolutions, at 40 points.
* Diancie's origins as a mutated Carbink is reflected in its near-identical moveset and learn rate, though it learns {{m|Trick Room}} instead of {{m|Power Gem}} in Generation VI.
* Diancie's [[Pokédex]] entry on the official English Pokémon website erroneously states that its [[gender]] can be either male or female, despite the fact that it is actually a [[gender unknown]] Pokémon, while Mega Diancie is correctly stated to be gender unknown.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/diancie Diancie | Pokédex] (pokemon.com)</ref> This error is absent in the Japanese Pokémon Zukan website.<ref>[https://zukan.pokemon.co.jp/detail/0719 ディアンシー｜ポケモンずかん] (zukan.pokemon.co.jp)</ref>

===Origin===
Diancie could be based on the {{wp|Carbuncle (legendary creature)|carbuncle}}, a mythical fairy-like creature that was rumored to have a {{wp|Carbuncle (gemstone)|jewel}} embedded on its forehead. Diancie could also be a visual pun derived from the idea of a "{{wp|princess cut}}" diamond, referring to its princess-like appearance, although the diamond on the forehead resembles a {{wp|Brilliant (diamond cut)|brilliant cut}} in its base form and a heart cut in its Mega Evolved form. Its relationship with Carbink may be inspired by {{wp|eusociality}}, a biological phenomenon which usually manifests in a colony of animals having a sole breeding female, or queen, tended to by her usually infertile offspring; or an example of a highly rare and unique {{wp|mutations}} such as {{wp|albinism}} or {{wp|polydactyly}}. Alternatively, the transformation from Carbink to Diancie could reference {{wp|metamorphic rock}} formation. Diancie, and its Mega Form, could possibly be analogous to various depictions of magical girls across various series. Mega Diancie in particular, being a powered up form, could potentially be compared to a typical magical girl transformation or a powered up super forms often seen in various properties.

====Name origin====
Diancie may be a combination of ''diamond'', ''fancy'', ''pixie'', and 石 ''ishi'' (stone). The ''-cie'' could also come from メレシー ''Melecie'' (Carbink's Japanese name), reflecting Diancie’s status as a mutated Carbink.

Torterra is a tall, bulky, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|tortoise}}, with a large shell covering its back. There is a single, oak-like tree and three triangular, stony extensions resembling mountain peaks on the top of the shell. There is a patch of brown, resembling soil, next to the tree. A white rim surrounds the shell and forms a diamond-shaped continuation on the front. Torterra's body appears sectioned, with the upper half being green and the lower half brown. Its mouth is jagged, which gives it the appearance of a snapping turtle. It also has a black nose. Its lower jaw is green and there are two large spikes protruding from its cheeks. Torterra's small, red eyes are encircled by a black ring. Its legs are thick and they have four toes each, which appear as if they are actually jagged stones. There are three toes on the front and one on the heel.

Torterra's large and clean shell supports the lives of many small Pokémon, which occasionally gather and {{wp|commensalism|build their nests upon the shell}}. Some are even born and spend their entire lives there. Torterra migrates in groups, searching for clean water, creating the illusion of moving forests. However, it is typically immobile. Torterra is believed to possess unmatched physical strength. Ancient people believed the ground contained a gigantic Torterra living underneath.

===Evolution===
Torterra evolves into {{p|Grotle}} and is the final form of {{p|Turtwig}}.

* When walking to the right in [[Amity Square]], Torterra's sprite erroneously shows its left side.
* Torterra's {{stat|Speed}} stat of 56 is the lowest base stat of any fully evolved starter Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Turtwig, Grotle and Torterra}}
Torterra appears to be based on a {{wp|Chelydridae|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|Ankylosauria|ankylosaur}}, which is an armored dinosaur. Its large features and spikes may also be inspired by extinct ''{{wp|Meiolania}}'' and ''{{wp|Proganochelys}}'' turtles. In concept, it may be based on the {{wp|World Turtle}} from various mythologies that carries the world upon its back.

====Name origin====
Torterra may be a combination of ''tortoise'' and ''terra'' (Latin for earth).

Dodaitose may be a combination of 土 ''do'' (earth or ground), 大 ''dai'' (large), 土台 ''dodai'' ({{wp|Foundation (engineering)|foundation}}), and ''tortoise''.

==Blurb==

Not long after Ash won his Icicle Badge at the Snowpoint Gym, his rival Paul challenged Gym Leader Candice to a battle! Once the match is set for the next day, Paul silently walks away. But he’s not alone for long—his big brother Reggie is in town, and once Reggie stops to talk to Paul, Ash and his friends catch up too! To top it all off, the Battle Pyramid flies right over their heads. Ash has already beaten this Kanto Battle Frontier facility, but Reggie admits he lost his own Battle Pyramid challenge.

Brandon, the Battle Pyramid King, is here to meet Maria, a maiden from the Snowpoint Temple. Paul has other ideas: he challenges Brandon to a battle, and Brandon accepts! Paul was a novice Trainer when he witnessed Reggie’s defeat at the Battle Pyramid, and it made a deep impression on him. Now he’s determined to beat Brandon in a full 6-on-6 battle and do what his brother couldn’t! Faced with Brandon’s Regirock, Paul swaps his Magmar out for Hariyama, but Regirock easily defeats Hariyama and then Electabuzz. Brandon sends in Registeel so Paul sends in Magmar, but Magmar isn’t even making a dent on Registeel. Paul switches in Nidoking instead, and Registeel scores an easy win.

Paul is quickly losing his cool; once Brandon’s Regice wipes the floor with Paul’s Lairon and then paralyzes Paul’s Ursaring, Paul gives up and lets Brandon’s Regirock knock his Ursaring out. Magmar is all Paul has left, but Regirock easily defeats Magmar too. Brandon is disappointed, but he promises they’ll battle again once Paul learns to control his emotions. As everyone files out of the Pyramid, Reggie suggests that Paul should battle Ash, and Brandon thinks it’s a good idea. The two rivals will battle in 10 days’ time—but just as that’s decided, Maria rushes up in a panic. Something terrible has happened at the Snowpoint Temple!

==Plot==
Just after {{Ash}} has earned the {{Badge|Icicle}}, [[Paul]] arrives at the [[Snowpoint Gym]] and challenges [[Candice]] to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. Candice tells Paul that her Pokémon just finished a battle and that they need to rest and asks if he would be okay waiting until tomorrow. As Paul agrees and turns to leave, Ash shows off his latest Badge and asks Paul how many more he has obtained, but Paul rudely brushes him off and walks away. {{an|Dawn}} tells [[Zoey]] that Paul is Ash's [[rival]], while Candice notices how fierce their rivalry is compared to Dawn and Zoey's.

As night falls on the [[Pokémon Center]], Zoey is surprised to learn that Paul was {{AP|Chimchar}}'s [[original Trainer]], and she remarks on the stark difference between Ash and Paul. Dawn notices that Ash is missing, so they go and look outside. Ash meets up with Paul (who is in the middle of a training session with his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and {{TP|Paul|Magmar}}) to thank him, mentioning that the defense strategy that [[Paul's Torterra]] [[DP100|taught]] his {{AP|Grotle}} helped out a lot in his Gym battle. Paul stops his training session and [[recall]]s Magmar before heading inside with Electabuzz, criticizing Ash for using a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon against an {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader and relying on what he calls "blind faith". Zoey loses her cool hearing this, angrily going off on Paul for his attitude and superiority complex, forcing Dawn to intervene. Ash attempts to wave Zoey off, but Paul continues inside without another word, leaving Zoey wanting Candice to completely crush him in their Gym battle the following day.

The next day, after dropping off a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} he was caring for, [[Reggie]] stops by after noticing his younger brother Paul outside the Center. Inside, Ash and {{ashfr}} notice Reggie as Dawn tells Zoey that he is Paul's older brother, before stepping outside to greet him. Reggie asks Paul if he can watch his match against Candice, which Paul allows. Zoey notices that Paul is as much a complete contrast to his brother as he is to Ash. Just then, a huge shock wave and shadow get all of their attention, and they look up to see the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Ash identifies it and reveals to everyone (except Brock, who already knows) that he [[AG190|conquered it]] and won the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]], which greatly surprises Paul. {{TRT}} spots the Pyramid from the town, while Candice spots it from outside her Gym.

Inside the Pyramid control room, [[Samuel]] relays a streaming video feed from Ash at the Pokémon Center, with Brandon pleasantly surprised. As the Pyramid touches down in a clearing, Reggie drives Ash and his friends to the location. Ash and {{an|Brock}} tell Dawn about the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, and how there are several [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] spread throughout Kanto and that each is run by a [[Frontier Brain]], with {{an|Brandon}} as the last to defeat and the most powerful of them all. After Brock finishes this explanation, Paul is shown seemingly lost in thought. Brock then asks Reggie about the missing Brave Symbol [[DP066|he noticed]] at his home back in [[Veilstone City]], after which Paul closes his eyes and seemingly falls deeper into thought. Reggie confirms that the Pyramid was the only facility in which he was unable to achieve victory, before his usual smile drops into a serious expression as he remarks that it was also the day he realized that he had a lot more to learn. The group arrives the Pyramid and meets up with Brandon, who is pleased to see so many familiar faces in Ash, Brock, Reggie, and even Paul, which prompts Paul to step forward and challenge Brandon to a battle right here and now. Candice then arrives on a {{p|Dodrio}}, introducing herself to Brandon and expresses her admiration of the Battle Pyramid. As an SUV approaches, Brandon introduces them to Temple Maiden [[Maria]], who Brock gets weak-kneed over, though {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{m|Poison Jab|calms him}}. Zoey fills everyone in about the [[Snowpoint Temple]] while Team Rocket listens in, Brandon mentioning that the Temple was his reason for coming to [[Sinnoh]]. However, he notices the determination in Paul's eyes and feels obligated to accept his challenge, so he tells Samuel to go with Maria to the Temple, planning to meet up with them once the battle is finished. Paul reveals that his reason for this sudden battle request is because he wishes to fulfill what his brother couldn't, and allows everyone to watch their battle.

Inside, Brock offers to be the referee, but Paul says that there is no need for this and declares that the match will be a [[Full Battle]] with substitutions allowed. He then summons {{TP|Paul|Magmar}}, before Brandon chooses {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Regirock}}, the same Pokémon he started with when battling Reggie. Reggie then flashes back to ''his'' battle with Brandon; he had defeated the other six Frontier Brains, and defeating Brandon would allow him to become a Frontier Brain candidate. Paul had just started his Pokémon journey with his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, still a Turtwig at the time, and traveled to Kanto in order to watch Reggie's battle. Despite his best efforts, Reggie lost without defeating a single one of Brandon's Pokémon. Paul and Turtwig were both shocked by Reggie's landslide defeat, and Brandon harshly told Reggie that while it was an enjoyable battle, there was nothing special or unique about his battle style, and finished by asking him where his inner strength is. Paul took these words to heart, and from that point he and Turtwig became determined to find their own inner strengths. As the scene switches back to the present, Brock realizes that Paul's obsession with power stems from Reggie's loss against Brandon. Brandon states to Paul he can take on anything he brings, because that is his battling style. Just then, Paul surprises everyone by immediately recalling Magmar before the battle has even started, Brock presuming his reasoning being the type disadvantage that Magmar has against Regirock. Paul then sends out {{p|Hariyama}}, while Dawn looks it up on her [[Pokédex]]. Zoey notes that Hariyama is a much better matchup than Magmar against a {{type|Rock}}.

The battle begins as Regirock fires {{m|Stone Edge}}, but Hariyama blocks it easily. Paul points out that Rock-type moves aren't very effective against Fighting types like Hariyama and asks if this is a test, Brandon smiling and replying that he will have to find out. Hariyama charges forward and hits with multiple {{m|Arm Thrust}}s, but Regirock bear hugs Hariyama to stop it in its tracks and uses {{m|Shock Wave}} at close range, bringing Hariyama to its knees. Hariyama goes in for a {{m|Force Palm}}, but Regirock easily dodges it and throws a {{m|Focus Punch}}, [[fainting|knocking Hariyama out]]. As Paul recalls Hariyama, everyone is impressed at how strong Brandon's Regirock is. Outside, Team Rocket tries to decide whether to climb the Pyramid again or go to the Temple; [[Jessie]] wants to ransack the Temple, {{MTR}} wishes to climb the Pyramid, while [[James]] is impartial. They hit an impasse and cannot agree on which location to pursue, so Jessie and Meowth play rock paper scissors to decide, but it results in a tie.

Meanwhile, Paul sends out Electabuzz and smiles. Although this choice confuses everyone else, Ash [[DP015|predicts Paul's strategy]] as Electabuzz uses {{m|Brick Break}} to cause Regirock super-effective [[damage]]. However, Regirock shows no signs of letting up and fires Stone Edge, and Electabuzz {{m|Protect}}s itself. However, the attack is so powerful that it breaks through the barrier and knocks Electabuzz down, which greatly frustrates Paul, before Regirock follows up with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} that takes Electabuzz out. Paul recalls Electabuzz before Brandon recalls Regirock as well, which benefits him on not having to deal with Hyper Beam's secondary immobilization effect. Brandon replaces it with {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Registeel}}, and Paul sends Magmar back out. Magmar lands a Flamethrower, but to everyone's amazement, Registeel takes the super-effective attack without much falter, before launching an {{m|Iron Head}} attack. Paul commands Magmar to block it and use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but Magmar fails to block the attack and ends up [[flinch|flinching]]. Irritated, Paul then recalls Magmar and deploys {{p|Nidoking}}. Dawn, after looking Nidoking up on her Pokédex, is confused as to why Paul chose a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon due to the {{t|Steel}} type's immunity to Poison attacks. Zoey replies that Nidoking is also a {{type|Ground}}, whose moves are super-effective on Steel-types. Registeel fires a {{m|Flash Cannon}} that hits Nidoking squarely in the face, but Nidoking recovers and successfully counterattacks with {{m|Earth Power}} and {{m|Double Kick}}, which are enough to cause Registeel to stumble backwards, but not defeat it. Nidoking then launches a {{m|Thunderbolt}} but Registeel uses Iron Head to absorb the Thunderbolt and hits Nidoking, knocking him out.

Brandon begins to taunt Paul, reminding him that he wanted to defeat the man who defeated his brother and put an end to his Pokémon journey. After recalling Nidoking, Paul tells Brandon that it is ''because'' he defeated his brother that he is battling him now; Brandon's ultimate challenge for all Pokémon Trainers is to find their true inner strength, which was something that Reggie was unable to fulfill, but Paul yells that he is different from his brother in that he is already aware of his true inner strength; his will. Up in the stands, Ash watches in complete shock and disbelief at his rival's tantrum and furious state. Brandon chastises Paul, telling him he is dwelling too much on the past and questioning why he is on a journey in the first place. This clearly hits a nerve and Paul furiously sends out his {{p|Lairon}}. Dawn proceeds to look up Lairon on her Pokédex.

Brandon recalls Registeel and brings {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Regice}} out. Paul has Lairon use {{m|Iron Defense}}, with Reggie guessing that Paul must want to hang in there and wait for a chance to counterstrike. However, his efforts are futile as Regice {{status|frozen|freezes}} Lairon with an {{m|Ice Beam}}, before launching a {{m|Zap Cannon}} that knocks Lairon out before it could even attack once. Paul is clearly destabilized and furiously sends out {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} after recalling Lairon. Ursaring goes in for a {{m|Hammer Arm}} attack and Regice counters with a {{m|Focus Punch}}, creating a massive backlash that knocks both Pokémon backwards. Ursaring prepares to use {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Regice uses Zap Cannon before it can launch the attack, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} it. Paul grows so angry that he gives up on Ursaring, refusing to give it any commands or even recall it. Brandon then substitutes Regice for Regirock, much to Paul's anger and shock. Regirock then fires Stone Edge, and Ursaring is taken out. Paul sends out his last Pokémon, Magmar, but with the type disadvantage and massive difference in strength, everyone knows that Paul has already lost. Regirock easily endures Magmar's Flamethrower attack before knocking it out with Shock Wave, therefore giving Brandon a perfect 6-0 victory over Paul. This crushing defeat leaves the normally stoical Paul utterly stupefied, while Ash is dumbstruck at how completely Paul was defeated. Paul silently recalls Magmar, listening with closed eyes as Brandon asks him if the way he battled today is his ''true'' battle. At these words, Reggie looks at Paul with intense care. Brandon acknowledges that Paul has done well raising and training his Pokémon, but notes that he allowed his emotions to consume him during the battle, which negatively influenced his decisions. Brandon then tells Paul that they will battle again one day when he has learned to discipline himself. Paul silently accepts this and bows solemnly.

Outside, Team Rocket is still split on deciding where to go as James notices Ash and his friends exiting. Outside, Paul decides to postpone his challenge against Candice, so she decides that she and Zoey should have a battle and they leave for the Snowpoint Gym. Paul prepares to leave also, but Reggie stops him and asks if he would be willing to have a Full Battle against Ash, which surprises the both of them. Brandon concurs with this suggestion, thinking that it will offer invaluable experience to both Trainers, so Reggie sets the event at [[Lake Acuity]] in [[DP131|ten days]]. The brothers then leave in Reggie's van as Samuel and Maria arrive, telling Brandon that a situation has occurred at the Snowpoint Temple.

==Trivia==
* There is no [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]] following this episode.
* This is the first episode starring a [[Frontier Brain]] where [[Scott]] does not appear.
** This is also the first time when a Frontier Brain appears after the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} arc.
* This is the first episode in which both [[Paul]] and [[Reggie]] appear in person together.
* In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', four episodes after this one, [[Paul's Ursaring]]'s [[Ability]] is revealed to be {{a|Guts}}, which raises the question of why the Ability didn't activate when Ursaring was [[Paralysis|paralyzed]] by [[Brandon's Legendary titans|Regice]]'s {{m|Zap Cannon}}. It may just be that the Ability didn't get a chance to activate, given how quickly after getting paralyzed Ursaring was [[Fainting|defeated]].
* This is the second time where Paul loses a {{pkmn|battle}} without his opponent losing a single one of their Pokémon, the first being against {{an|Cynthia}} [[DP040|88 episodes prior]].
* If the collision between Regice's {{m|Focus Punch}} and Ursaring's {{m|Hammer Arm}} isn't counted as a hit, all of Paul's Pokémon were knocked out with two hits.
* {{TRT}} doesn't blast off or recite their {{motto}} in this episode.
* Similarly to the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]] of ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', {{m|Iron Head}} is referred to as both ''Cabeçada de Ferro'' by {{an|Brandon}} and ''Cabeça de Ferro'' by {{an|Brock}} during his explaination of [[flinch|why Paul's Magmar didn't get to use Will-O-Wisp]].

===Errors===
* In the English dub, Reggie says that Paul had traveled to Kanto ''after'' he had already started his Sinnoh journey. This is impossible, since it was confirmed in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' that Paul had journeyed through Kanto (and Johto and Hoenn) ''before'' starting his Sinnoh journey.
* {{p|Regirock}}'s {{m|Stone Edge}} is able to hit {{p|Electabuzz}} through {{m|Protect}}, though nothing except {{m|Feint}} and {{m|Shadow Force}} can do this under normal conditions.
* In three scenes, [[Zoey]]'s eyes are colored orange.
* In the {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}} dub, Brandon tells Regirock to use {{m|Rock Smash}} (''Steen Knal'') instead of Stone Edge (''Steen Rand'').
* In the Castilian Spanish dub, the {{t|Steel}} type is referred as "Iron-type".

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, after Ash talks about how Torterra's help paid off during Grotle's battle at the Snowpoint Gym, Paul responds by saying that Ash shouldn't need Torterra's help if he is serious about the Gym battle. In the original Japanese version, Paul wonders why Ash thought he'd have his Torterra with him, since he is preparing to take on the Snowpoint Gym.
* In the English dub, the Pokédex says that Registeel's body has been tempered underground for thousands of years. In the original Japanese version, it is said to be tens of thousands of years.

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. Cynthia is the current {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and has helped deal with several crises, particularly those involving [[Team Galactic]] and [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Cynthia is revealed to be one of the top eight [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Young Cynthia.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Cynthia]]
===History===
====Pre-series====
During Cynthia's childhood, she received an egg from what would become her [[starter Pokémon]], a {{TP|Cynthia|Gible}} that she trained and became great partners with. Cynthia and Gible went through several paths on their journey, including at this time when Cynthia captured a {{p|Feebas}}, a Pokémon that she would eventually evolve into {{p|Milotic}}.

This Gible would evolve into a {{p|Garchomp}} and become her main battle partner. As revealed in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Cynthia used to focus only on getting stronger when she was younger, causing her to hurt Pokémon with her reckless behavior. That changed, however, when she discovered the legends of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
[[File:Cynthia Pokemon League.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia and Garchomp in their youth]]
Over time, Cynthia eventually became the Champion of the [[Sinnoh League]] with the help of Garchomp.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Cynthia was first mentioned in [[Lucian]]'s flashback in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', along with the members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

She properly debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where she was first seen battling against Lucian with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} on television. She then arrived in person in [[Amity Square]], where she was studying ancient tablets. It was here that she met {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Paul]], who rushed down to Amity Square after they heard rumors of Cynthia being there. Paul challenged her to a [[Full Battle]], but Cynthia won easily. She then mentioned that she was just like Paul in her youth, determined to win with the strongest Pokémon. After the battle, because [[Nurse Joy]] was busy, she and {{an|Brock}} personally healed Paul's Pokémon, after convincing him to take them to a [[Pokémon Center]]. After this, back at the Amity Square Ruins, she explained that something written there means very much to her: "When every life meets another life, something will be born". Later, Ash would think about this quote from time to time. Cynthia then decided to go to [[Celestic Town]], where she planned to study the legend of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and the [[Lustrous Orb]].

Since that encounter, one of Ash and Paul's main goals in the anime has become to face and defeat Cynthia in a Pokémon battle, something shown several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]]''.

After [[Team Galactic]] steals the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', Cynthia is forced to return to Celestic Town, where she meets Ash, Dawn, and Brock again. During this meeting, Cynthia introduces them to her [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], a researcher into the legends of Sinnoh, and [[Cyrus]], an important executive in the Sinnoh region and find out about Ash and Dawn's [[DP078|previous]] [[DP001|encounters]] with {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Mesprit}}.
[[File:DP096.png|220px|thumb|left|Cynthia and her grandmother showing the [[Lustrous Orb]] to {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}]]
At Cyrus' suggestion, Cynthia and her grandmother take the two to see the Lustrous Orb, unaware that it was a Team Galactic plot to storm the Museum, during the invasion, Cynthia manages to easily defeat [[Saturn]] in a battle but this only served to buy the others members of Team Galactic time and finish invading the place.

Cynthia decides to use this time to ask Ash and Brock to tend to {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} who were violently injured in the battle, and soon goes in search of the Orb again, sending Garchomp out in search of their location. At the [[Pokémon Center]], Cynthia discovers that Ash's Chimchar is the same one used by Paul during their [[DP040|previous encounter]] and talks to the Chimp Pokémon about its future and the relationship it had with these two trainers and shortly afterwards Cynthia discuss about Team Galactic's real goals with Ash, Dawn and Brock.
[[File:Cynthia and Professor Carolina.png|thumb|220px|Cynthia and her grandmother]]
Once {{TP|Ash|Staravia}} arrives with Team Rocket's location, Cynthia and the others head to the ruins of Celestic Town, where another confrontation between Team Galactic and Team Rocket begins. Despite their best efforts, Team Galactic manages to achieve their goals and manages to steal the [[Lustrous Orb]]. Later, when Cyrus says goodbye to the group, Cynthia begins to suspect his real intentions and the next day, when she is saying goodbye to Ash and his friends, Cynthia is informed that a [[Aaron (Elite Four)|challenger]] has asked for a battle against her for the title of Champion.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', Cynthia, along with Ash, his friends, her grandmother and [[Officer Jenny]]'s police officers, tried to stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the Lustrous Orb at Celestic Town. Using her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, Cynthia is able to defeat several of Team Galactic's Pokémon, but when {{TRT}} tries to steal the Lustrous Orb for themselves, the battle ends up being interrupted and [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} flee with the Orb.

Cynthia battled {{EF|Aaron}} to defend her title of Champion of the Sinnoh region on television in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', which she won. Ash and his friends commented that while Aaron was strong enough to be a member of the [[Elite Four]], Cynthia was still far stronger than him.

Cynthia briefly appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where she battled against [[Palmer]].

Cynthia joins Ash and his friends in the final stages of Team Galactic's plan in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', however, during their trip to [[Mt. Coronet]], Ash, Brock and Dawn are summoned by the lake's guardians.

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Cynthia frees Ash and the others who had been captured by Team Galactic during the confrontation, shortly thereafter Cynthia helped Ash and his friends protect the {{an|lake guardians}} and put a stop to Team Galactic's plans at [[Spear Pillar]]. After the defeat of Team Galactic's plans, Cynthia witnesses Ash, Dawn and Brock teaming up with Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie to save Sinnoh from the destruction caused by the by the [[Red Chain]]'s disruption in {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. At the end of the day, Cynthia thanks the three of them for what they've done and for saving the [[Sinnoh]] region from destruction.
[[File:Ash Vs Cynthia DP191.png|thumb|250px|Ash's dream of battling Cynthia]]
As of ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Cynthia observed the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] alongside [[Charles Goodshow]]. While watching, she showed a deep interest specifically in the battle between Ash and Paul in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' and after the [[DP188|result]] of the battle between the two, Cynthia remembers the moment she met them and says that she will wait for the moment when she will face Ash and Paul in a battle after they after growing up as Trainers. At the end of the competition in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', she personally delivered the trophy to the winner, {{si|Tobias}}.

In ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss!]]'', Ash and his friends watched her battle with Flint for the title of Champion. [[Flint's Infernape]] managed to defeat two of her Pokémon, but Garchomp ultimately defeated Flint's Infernape, earning Cynthia the victory. During the battle, Ash sees himself represented in the battle and imagines himself in the battle against Cynthia, further reinforcing his dreams of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]].

Cynthia made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', Cynthia met up with Ash again in [[Virbank City]] in [[Unova]] at an ice cream stand. She told Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} about the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where she would have an exhibition match. Ash and {{ashfr}} then decided to go with Cynthia and participate. On the way to the seaport to take a plane to Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]], she almost hit an injured {{an|Meloetta}} with her car. She discovered that it was suffering from a fever and gave Ash, Iris, and Cilan instructions on how to make it feel better. She was revealed to have a {{p|Glaceon}} which used {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the water. Cynthia and Ash broke the ice and took it to Meloetta.

After it recovered a little, Iris asked Cynthia if she could battle her and her Garchomp while she used {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, as Iris was thrilled to battle a {{type|Dragon}} she had never met before. Cynthia agreed and the battle got underway, in which Cynthia stopped the battle due to concerns her Garchomp may hurt Iris's Axew.
[[File:BWS2 gang.png|thumb|left|250px|Cynthia arriving with Ash and his friends at her Villa]]
In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', Ash and his friends arrived in Undella Town, at Cynthia's villa. During the get-together, [[Jervis]] and Cynthia argued far from the others about Meloetta. After that, Cynthia watched a battle between Dawn and Cilan, and then at dusk Cynthia joins the others to watch a song sung by Melloeta, but unlike the others, Cynthia watched with concern the presentation of [[Pokémon category|Melody Pokémon]].

During an incident with a wild {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} in ''[[BW089|Iris and the Rogue Dragonite!]]'', Jervis revealed that Cynthia has traveled to [[Lacunosa Town]] to begin preparations for the competition.
[[File:Alder and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia and Alder]]
In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Cynthia was seen talking with [[Alder]] in [[Lacunosa Town]], where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup was held, until they are interrupted by the arrival of Ash and [[Trip]]. Later, she participated in an exhibition match with her Garchomp against Unova Elite Four member [[Caitlin]] and her {{p|Gothitelle}}.

Cynthia then appeared in ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', where she observed the tournament and helped Iris with {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}'s problem with listening to her commands and gave [[Trip]] some advice. After the conversation Trip thought to himself that after defeating Alder, she would be next and during the battle between Iris and Dawn, Cynthia showed deep interest in Dragonite's performance and relationship with Iris.

In the [[BW092|following episode]], Cynthia was seen watching the battle of Iris against Ash and after the battle, Cynthia talked to Iris about their relationships with Pokémon and that motivated Iris to keep doing her best with Dragonite.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Cynthia was seen watching the battle Trip was allowed to have against Alder for winning the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup. After this, Cynthia attended the closing ceremony and everyone returns to Cynthia's Villa where Ash and the others will stay for a few more days.

Back in Undella Town, she watched a battle between Ash and Dawn, which Cynthia evaluated to be a tie between the two and later went with the others to wave Dawn farewell when she went to [[Johto]]. Soon after, Cynthia witnessed Ash and Cameron on their way to get a Badge at [[Humilau City]]'s Gym in ''[[BW090|The Road to Humilau!]]'' and remained in [[Lacunosa Town]] to help dismantle the competition's decorations.

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', during the last set-up of the competition, Cynthia was informed that Team Rocket attacked her villa behind Meloetta. When she met up with Ash's friends and Ridley, she became aware of the situation and they all headed towards the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when {{an|Giovanni}}'s plans advanced, Cynthia helped Ash and his friends put a stop to [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest and saved the Unova region from the {{an|Forces of Nature}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Forme}}'s rage with the help of Meloetta. At the end of the day, Cynthia joined the others to say goodbye to Meloetta.

Cynthia said goodbye to Ash in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'' after informing him that the [[Unova League]] was starting in a few weeks and wished everyone good luck in the future.

Cynthia also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Cynthia made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', watching Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] match against [[Volkner]] through television. Volkner revealed that she was participating in the World Coronation Series and had made it to the Master Class.
[[File:Ash and Eight Masters.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia in the Master Class]]
In ''[[JN083|Star Night, Star Flight!]]'', Cynthia encountered Ash and [[Goh]] while they were investigating a town in [[Johto]] that had been caught in an endless night. Goh and Ash then talked to Cynthia about a girl they met earlier and a Pokémon that they thought was an {{p|Unown}}. The three than met up with {{OBP|Tiara|JN083}} and her mother and asked if the Pokémon she'd seen the previous day was an Unown with Tiara confirmed. After explaining how she'd met the Unown, Tiara became upset, claiming she wanted to see the stars as the Unown had made it endless night's to help her to find her {{p|Cleffa}} again. This caused the Unown to attack Cynthia, Ash, and Goh, but were eventually defeated thanks to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. Tiara apologized for being selfish and the town became day again.

Cynthia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', along with other Masters Eight Trainers.

She appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', where Ash and [[Chloe]] met her at the [[Canalave Library]], looking for information about Palkia. When they exited the library later, they were attacked by the [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]. Cynthia battled against them, forcing them to retreat, with Ash and Chloe pursuing them to their world. During the climax of the battle between {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Cynthia found a portal where she could see Ash and the [[Ash's friends|others]]. When everyone decided to get together and ask {{p|Arceus}} to help, Cynthia joined the residents of the normal world and the Alternate World to get everything sorted out. When it all came to an end, Cynthia welcomed Ash, Dawn, Goh, and Chloe on their arrival in the normal world.
[[File:Cynthia JNS01.png|thumb|250px|left|Cynthia in [[Hisui]] clothes]]
During the [[Sinnoh Festival]] in ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', Cynthia reunited with Ash, Goh, and Dawn again and revealed that she was organizing part of the event. Next, Cynthia gave a lecture and details for them about [[Hisui|Sinnoh's past]]. At the end of the event, Cynthia hosted a catching competition where the three should capture one of the Pokémon that were [[Starter Pokémon|given to Trainers]] from the region's bygone eras: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, and {{p|Rowlet}}. Upon completing the objectives, Cynthia gave each of them a book with the ancient history of Sinnoh.

A short time later, unaware that [[Team Galactic]] had returned, Dawn contacted Cynthia to help with a strange phenomenon occurring at [[Mount Coronet]] in ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]'' and in the [[JNS03|next episode]]. Cynthia joined Ash, Dawn, {{an|Brock}}, and Goh in battle during the return of Team Galactic, who sought to rescue [[Cyrus]] from the dimension he was trapped in. Cynthia single-handedly defeated [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]]'s Pokémon using her {{p|Roserade}} and lent Garchomp so Brock can help save a {{p|Heatran}} that was out of control.

In ''[[JNS04|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4)]]'', Cynthia managed to arrest the Team Galactic {{tc|Commander}}s as they try to escape, joining then Ash and his friends. Together, they asked for help from {{p|Arceus}} who, together with the {{an|lake guardians}}, managed to avoid the worst. Lastly, Cynthia watched along with Brock while Ash and his friends trying to save Heatran from inside the massive monster formed by Arceus's [[Flame Plate]].

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Cynthia was revealed to be ranked as the second-strongest Trainer in the Master Class behind {{an|Leon}}.
[[File:JN123.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia facing Ash]]
In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Cynthia participated in [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash and Iris, and meeting [[Alain]] and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be Iris. After [[Diantha]] and {{an|Lance}}'s battle concluded in [[JN116|the following episode]], Cynthia and Iris began their battle. In [[JN117|the next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle against the [[Unova]] Champion, advancing her to the semifinals.

In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Cynthia watched Ash and {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s battle, where the [[Alola]] Champion emerged victorious. After the battle, Cynthia was shown to be looking forward to battling Ash in the semifinals.

In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', Cynthia revealed to [[Diantha]] that she intended to retire from competitive battling following the Masters Eight Tournament. She then begun her battle against Ash and quickly managed to gain the upper hand, knocking out half of his team with just her {{p|Spiritomb}}. As the battle progressed in [[JN124|the next episode]], Cynthia surprised the entire stadium by choosing to use [[Dynamax]] instead of [[Mega Evolution]]. The battle concluded in ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', with Togekiss and Garchomp being defeated by {{AP|Lucario}} after putting up a tough fight, which eliminated her from the tournament. Inspired by this battle, and realizing she has even more to learn from battling, Cynthia decided not to retire from battling and revealed this change of heart to Diantha after the battle.

From ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Cynthia and Diantha watched Ash's match against Leon. During the battle, Cynthia talked to Diantha about battle strategies. Following Ash's victory, Cynthia and Diantha celebrated the end of the tournament and decided to have a friendly battle with each other.

===Character===
[[File:Cynthia Dialga Palkia.png|thumb|250px|left|Cynthia and Garchomp studying the Sinnoh myths in a flashback]]
Cynthia is near-universally admired and respected as [[Sinnoh]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}}. Often regarded with the imposing presence of a queen on the battlefield, she is measured in her dignified battling style that combines extreme power and expert precision with an air of grace. As shown in her battle with Ash, she frequently substitutes her Pokémon to disrupt her opponent's momentum and gain various advantages.
[[File:Diantha and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia with Iris and Diantha]]
Cynthia is calm, not showing the slightest stress even in the heat of {{pkmn|battle}}. Even when surprised by an opponent's tactic, she maintains her level-headed and calm demeanor, silently or verbally praising them. As an archeologist, Cynthia is incredibly wise and well-versed in the Sinnoh time-space legends. Upon her return in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Cynthia is seen studying various mythologies and regions of the world, showing much knowledge about Pokémon from other regions like [[Alola]] or [[Unova]]. However, her love for battling began to wane over time, leading her to believe that retirement was in her best interest. This view would ultimately be discarded following a battle with Ash, leaving her with the desire to master battling and research at an even greater level.

Throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' she often quoted ''"When every life meets another life, something will be born"'', a line directly from the Sinnoh time-space legends. She is particularly interested in the [[friendship]] between Trainers and their Pokémon, and enjoys mentoring young Trainers, willingly offering advice to support their growth such as {{Ash}}, [[Paul]], {{an|Iris}}, and [[Unova League]]'s [[Caitlin]].

In her spare time, if any, Cynthia makes sure to unwind at her [[Undella Town]] villa. She also has a sweet tooth, as shown in many of her appearances; however, she often struggles with which flavor to choose as shown in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' and ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Cynthia is revealed to have a very close friendship with [[Diantha]].

===Pokémon===
[[File:Cynthia Party DP098.png|thumb|220px|Cynthia and her Pokémon joining forces in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'']]
[[File:Cynthia {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Key Stone|1=Dynamax Band}}.png|left|thumb|250px|Cynthia's {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Key Stone|1=Dynamax Band}}]]
The only permanent member of Cynthia's team is {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Despite Cynthia not having a specialty type, she is well known for her affinity for {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon; because of this, Cynthia uses powerful Pokémon of that type like {{p|Garchomp}} and {{p|Kommo-o}}, which led to her being challenged by {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''.

Cynthia is rarely seen using any other Pokémon besides her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}; however, in dire situations, she has resorted to other Pokémon on her team, and they appear similarly well-trained. For example, {{p|Gastrodon}} was able to easily defeat [[Aaron's Beautifly]] despite it being on the receiving end of a doubly [[Type#Type effectiveness|super-effective]] {{m|Solar Beam}}, {{p|Spiritomb}} managed to defeat half of {{Ash}}'s team in battle, {{p|Togekiss}} was able to withstand several powerful super-effective {{m|Bullet Punch}}es from [[Ash's Lucario]], and her Kommo-o was able to thwart [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]'s initial plans.

During her battle with Ash, Cynthia was revealed to have a [[Dynamax Band]] in addition to having a [[Key Stone]]. Cynthia used this primarily to cause unpredictability in battle and pushed several of Ash's Pokémon to the limit.

This listing is of Cynthia's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

Though the {{pkmn|movie}} is set in an alternate continuity from the main series, director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] has repeatedly confirmed that the woman isn't Cynthia.<ref>https://www.pscp.tv/w/1OwxWWyEOXMxQ?t=1h05m</ref>
* Cynthia owning a {{p|Kommo-o}} could be a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to [[Pokémon Masters EX]], in which [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Cynthia}} owns one, and her {{p|Glaceon}} could reference her appearance in the [[Generation V]] games.
* Out of all recurring [[Pokémon Trainer]]s that have been shown having official {{pkmn|battle}}s in the anime, Cynthia has the longest winning streak at 704 episodes, from ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' to ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]''.
* With the exception of {{an|Gladion}}, Cynthia has met all of Ash's main rivals.

==Blurb==

Team Galactic has taken over the Iron Island ruins, where their Spear Key has unleashed a strange energy from the ruins. On top of that, the frequency from their machines has driven the local Steel-type Pokémon berserk! The energy has overwhelmed Riley's Lucario, and Lucario attacks Riley and our heroes. Fortunately, Riley is training to be an Aura Guardian, and he uses his own Aura to shield everyone. At Riley's insistence, Pikachu hits Lucario with a Thunderbolt—Lucario backs off, but then it charges Team Galactic! In the meantime, the energy from the ruins has triggered reactions from distant Mt. Coronet and even the meteorites in Veilstone City, and scientists around the region are scrambling to figure out what's happening.

Back on Iron Island, Commander Mars' Purugly defeats Lucario, but Riley realizes Lucario was trying to destroy Team Galactic's machines. As our heroes run to finish what Lucario started, Piplup falls into the same cavern where Barry and Team Rocket were trapped after their own scrap with Team Galactic. When Dawn tries to help get them out, an angry Steelix knocks her into the cavern! Riley holds Steelix at bay while Ash and Brock finish the mission; as soon as Pikachu destroys Team Galactic's machinery, Steelix and the island's other Steel-type Pokémon calm down.

This also shuts down the ruins, so Team Galactic beats a quick retreat. As a parting gift, they wire the ruins with enough explosive to blow up Iron Island. Riley and Lucario run to disarm the bombs, but Ash and Brock need to rescue their friends from the cavern. James' Carnivine comes to the rescue: it uses a new move, Vine Whip, to help pull itself to the surface, then pulls up everyone else. As our heroes rejoice, Commander Mars, now a safe distance from the island, hits the detonator for the explosives. The whole island trembles, but remains intact!

Riley and Lucario used their combined powers of Aura to contain the detonating bombs and channel them high above the island to explode harmlessly. With everything quiet for now, Cynthia's grandmother Carolina flies in to examine Team Galactic's handiwork. Both the ruins and Team Galactic's machine are made of the same compound as the Veilstone meteorites; Team Galactic must be using that to locate Spear Pillar, a key to summoning Dialga and Palkia. Riley offers to help Carolina survey the island, but Ash and his friends have other things on their mind. They part on friendly terms with Barry, then get on the ferry. Their destination: Dawn's next Contest and Ash's next Gym battle!

==Plot==
After succumbing to [[Team Galactic]]'s low frequency energy, {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} prepares to strike at {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} with an {{m|Aura Sphere}}. However, [[Riley]] blocks it using his [[aura]], revealing that he and Lucario are actually training to become [[Aura]] Guardians. Riley tries to [[recall]] it to its {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Lucario breaks it with an aggressive {{m|Bone Rush}}. Ash rushes in and defends Riley from another strike of Bone Rush. {{an|Brock}} and Ash then restrain Lucario from taking further action, while Riley unexpectedly asks {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Lucario. Ash is hesitant to hurt Lucario but acquiesces upon Riley's assistance. Pikachu unleashes {{m|Thunderbolt}} and electrocutes Lucario, along with Brock and Ash who are still holding on, but it continues to behave irately and runs directly to the wave-emitting {{si|Iron Ruins}}.

While the energy continues to beam from the Iron Ruins and onto [[Mt. Coronet]], laboratories across [[Sinnoh]] are receiving trace information, while [[Reggie]] takes note of the meteorites in the [[Veilstone City]] park emitting the same energy. {{tc|Commander}} [[Mars]] reports her findings back to [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic Headquarters]], indicating the likely location of the legendary [[Spear Pillar]] is somewhere on Mt. Coronet. [[Cyrus]] orders the [[Iron Island]] operation to continue while they receive data back at HQ.

As Lucario rushes towards the ruins, Mars has her {{p|Golbat}} and {{TP|Mars|Purugly}} on standby. Lucario is eventually struck down by {{m|Shadow Ball}} and Purugly's {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Though Ash is worried for Lucario, Riley suggests they go after Team Galactic's machine, as Lucario was charging at it with clear intent. While jumping over a big hole, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} accidentally falls in but {{an|Dawn}} discovers this is the hole where {{an|Barry}} and {{TRT}} are. Dawn stays behind to help while Ash, Brock, and Riley go on ahead. Her efforts are interrupted when a {{p|Steelix}} bursts from underground, causing Dawn to fall in as well. As Steelix pushes its head into the crevasse, Riley intervenes and uses his aura to shield Dawn and the others from harm. With Riley now occupied, Ash and Brock go ahead. Ash has {{AP|Staravia}} carry Pikachu on his back while [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} attack Mars’s Golbat army with {{m|Double-Edge}} and {{m|Brick Break}}. Though Mars and Purugly attempt to hold them at bay, Staravia uses {{m|Brave Bird}} to defeat more Golbat while Pikachu delivers a devastating Thunderbolt that destroys Galactic's machine. The resulting explosion knocks the [[Spear Key]] loose, but it is quickly recovered by a Golbat and handed to Mars. The energy finally ceases, and the Steel types stop behaving aggressively, restoring Lucario to its original state and saving Dawn, Barry, and Team Rocket from the Steelix.

Ash and Brock's intervention has left Team Galactic with only 60% of Mt. Coronet scanned and the location of Spear Pillar is still undetermined. Cyrus pushes for a tactical retreat and orders the ruins to be obliterated. Mars follows orders, and while defeated, she escapes with the Spear Key. Before her helicopter departure, Mars informs Riley and the others that she has installed bombs in the ruins with enough force to obliterate the entire island. She promises she's not bluffing and that she'll detonate the bombs when she feels like it, taunting the heroes to start running while they still have time. Lucario scans the area and locates the explosives underneath the ruins. He orders Ash and the others to leave while he and Lucario handle the situation. Journeying underneath the ruins, he is horrified by the number of explosive devices planted, knowing Mars plans to make full use of her threat.

Dawn, Barry, and Team Rocket are mortified over the threat of the explosives, with [[Jessie]] hurriedly recalling {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}. Ash has the idea of having {{AP|Chimchar}} use {{m|Dig}} to help everybody escape the hole, but the ground is too hard, making the situation even direr. [[James]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} begins to cry as their fear uncontrollably washes over. {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, watching James's sobbing, begins to glow with a green light and releases two vines from its body, which Barry identifies as {{m|Vine Whip}}. James is overjoyed over Carnivine's new [[move]], which with the aid of {{AP|Grotle}}, begins to pull everyone out of the hole.

Now at a safe distance, Mars detonates the bomb. Iron Island shakes, but oddly there is no explosion. Mars is infuriated and presses the detonation button repeatedly but finds herself confused when her crew members reveal that the sensors indicate explosions are taking place. Deeply concerned about Riley, Ash and the others rush over to the ruins. Meanwhile, Riley and Lucario have managed to contain the explosion inside a massive aura bubble. With a scream of effort, they launch the contained explosion bubble into the sky, allowing it to explode without damage to the island. Riley and Lucario emerge from the ruins completely drained, but otherwise unscathed.

Team Rocket soon leaves in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|submarine]], determined to get their revenge on Team Galactic for wanting to destroy the {{pkmn|world}}. Having analyzed the spikes in energy from the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]], [[Professor Carolina]] arrives to investigate the Iron Ruins further. Her preliminary analysis reveals that Team Galactic located the Iron Ruins with a radar-like machine made from the stolen [[Veilstone City]] meteorites. Furthermore, both the machine and the Iron Ruins are emitting special frequencies which resonated with one another resulting in a sound wave that made the Steel-type Pokémon act violently and suffer intense pain. In addition, Carolina reveals that the Iron Ruins can reveal the location of Spear Pillar - the location at which {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} may be summoned to this world. At Carolina's request, [[Riley]] agrees to help her study the island's mysterious connection with the Veilstone meteorites and Spear Pillar. The following morning, Ash's group says goodbye to Barry and [[Barry's Empoleon|Empoleon]] as they leave for [[Chocovine Town]] and Dawn's next {{pkmn|Contest}}. Ash and Barry vow to keep training hard and face off against each other at the [[Sinnoh League]].

At the Team Galactic Headquarters, Mars apologizes to Cyrus for her failure in destroying Iron Ruins. Cyrus tells her the failure is only a temporary setback, and places [[Saturn]] in charge of excavating Spear Pillar. Even with only a 60% scan, Team Galactic has still made headway in their search for the Spear Pillar and their quest for the ability to control the powers of [[Sinnoh]] space-time.

==Blurb==


It’s time for Ash’s battle against Raihan—the winner gets to compete in the Masters Eight Tournament! As Leon watches, the three-on-three battle begins with Raihan’s Flygon versus Ash’s Dragonite. But Flygon overwhelms Dragonite, and Raihan is in the lead! Then, Ash chooses Gengar. Flygon attacks fiercely, but after recovering from an attack, Gengar Gigantamaxes! Flygon is taken down, and then Gengar and Raihan’s Goodra knock each other out! With one Pokémon left on each side, Raihan chooses Duraludon, while Ash chooses Lucario. Although Duraludon Gigantamaxes, it’s no match for Ash and Lucario’s new technique: G-Max Aura Sphere. Ash wins the battle, officially becoming a member of the Masters Eight!

==Plot==
As a new day begins in the [[Galar]] [[region]], {{Ash}} and {{AP|Lucario}} arrive at the city of [[Hammerlocke]], eagerly waiting for their [[World Coronation Series]] entrance battle. Arriving in front of the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], Ash is greeted by his opponent and the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Raihan]]. They both express their determination to win, only to be interrupted when they notice none other than {{an|Leon}} waking up from behind a nearby bush, having come early so he wouldn't miss the match. He encourages Ash and Raihan to give their all in the upcoming battle.

Inside the Stadium, the stands are filled with lots of people eager to witness the last entrance battle of the season, with [[Goh]], accompanied by {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} and {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}, sitting amongst them. Ash and Raihan enter the battlefield and are introduced to the audience, with Raihan receiving plenty of cheering from the people of his hometown. [[Battle judge|Referee]] [[Gym guide|Dan]] explains that the match will follow the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] rules, with both sides using three Pokémon each and being allowed to switch them at any time as many times as they want. In addition, either side may only use one of either [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, or [[Dynamax]] per battle, with Goh predicting that Ash is going to use Mega Evolution with his Lucario. At Dan's signal, both sides send out their first Pokémon. Ash's choice is {{AP|Dragonite}}, while Raihan goes with {{p|Flygon}}, making the first round a clash between {{t|Dragon}} types.

Raihan makes the first moves by ordering a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, while Dragonite uses the time to set up a {{m|Dragon Dance}}, increasing its {{stat|Attack}} power and {{stat|Speed}}. With its increased Speed, Dragonite evades Flygon's subsequent {{m|Steel Wing}}s easily. Raihan admits that Ash has {{pkmn|training|trained}} his Dragonite well, but also reminds him that he's a Dragon-type [[Type expert|expert]], and orders a {{m|Sandstorm}}, which envelops the entire field. With its vision blinded by the {{weather|sandstorm}}, Dragonite is struck by a Dragon Claw and a flurry of Steel Wings from Flygon as the {{pkmn|category|Mystic Pokémon}} hides itself in the swirling sand, which is also slowly dealing [[damage]] to Dragonite over time. Ash decides on a new strategy and orders Dragonite to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which sends meteors raining all over the battlefield. One of them manages to hit Flygon, giving away its location and allowing Dragonite to attack it with {{m|Hurricane}} and Dragon Claw before it hides in the sandstorm again. Ash prepares to repeat his Draco Meteor strategy, but Raihan declares he won't fall for the same trick twice and has Flygon strike Dragonite with Steel Wing before the Draco Meteor can go off, taking Ash's Pokémon out of the fight.

After [[recall]]ing Dragonite, Ash chooses {{AP|Gengar}} as his second Pokémon. While Gengar manages to evade Flygon's Steel Wing, its {{m|Ice Punch}} fails to land, leaving Gengar just as vulnerable against Flygon's hit-and-run strategy as Dragonite had been. Following a series of Dragon Claws, Gengar is struck by a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} {{m|Crunch}}, dealing heavy damage to it. Goh grows worried, since losing Gengar now would leave Ash with just one Pokémon against Raihan's three, putting him at a severe disadvantage. As Gengar wearily stands back up, Raihan asks Ash why he wants to battle Leon, because to him, the desire to challenge Leon needs to be supported by a desire to defeat him, a desire that he has in spades. Ash, however, declares that he too wants to defeat Leon, and refuses to lose here in order to realize that goal.

Seeing that Gengar is getting tired, Ash changes his initial plans, apologizing to Lucario for not being able to Mega Evolve it now as he slips on his [[Dynamax Band]] and [[Gigantamax]]es Gengar. Using Gigantamax Gengar's giant mouth, Ash has it suck away the sandstorm, leaving Flygon exposed and wide open for {{m|G-Max Terror}}, which scores a direct hit. Raihan attempts a counterattack with Crunch, but Flygon is stopped in its tracks by {{m|Max Starfall}}, defeating it and evening the odds.

Raihan selects {{p|Goodra}} to be his second Pokémon and has it use {{m|Rain Dance}}, further demonstrating his [[weather]]-based strategies. Utilizing the [[rain]] to its advantage, Goodra launches a rapid-fire offensive with {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, all of which deal devastating blows. Ash considers recalling Gengar, but as he sees its willingness to keep going, Ash decides to keep it out. Goodra attempts another Surf, but this time, Gengar is able to deflect it with its tongue. Gengar attacks with Max Starfall, while Goodra uses Hydro Pump, both [[move]]s hitting their targets. Gengar reverts to its normal size as both Pokémon collapse, resulting in a double knockout and leaving both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with one Pokémon each.

Both sides recall their Pokémon and send out their last fighters, Lucario and {{p|Duraludon}}. While Ash has already used his once-in-a-battle power-up, Raihan still has his Dynamax to use, and he puts it to use by immediately Gigantamaxing Duraludon. Lucario uses {{m|Double Team}} to confuse Duraludon, before using {{m|Aura Sphere}}, which, however, doesn't faze the Gigantamax Pokémon at all. After a second Aura Sphere provides equally lackluster results, Raihan starts his counteroffensive with {{m|Max Steelspike}}, which Lucario is unable to completely avoid. Raihan then has Duraludon unleash its strongest attack; {{m|G-Max Depletion}}, which envelops Lucario in a swirling tornado of energy. To Raihan's surprise, however, Ash is perfectly calm about this situation, as is Lucario, who is standing still inside the vortex and charging up an Aura Sphere.

Ash and Lucario's [[Aura]]s are in perfect sync as Lucario raises the growing Aura Sphere over its head, causing the [[G-Max Move]] to dissipate around it. Goh realizes that this Aura Sphere is similar to what Lucario did after its [[JN108|training]] with {{AP|Greninja}}, except that it's even bigger. Drawing power from the Aura of its teammates, Goh and his partners, and even Greninja all the way back in [[Kalos]], Lucario's Aura Sphere grows to a gigantic size, and Ash dubs it "G-Max Aura Sphere". Duraludon attempts a counterattack with {{m|Max Rockfall}}, but Lucario's attack easily powers through it and strikes the Gigantamax Pokémon head-on, causing it to topple and revert to normal size. Dan judges Duraludon as unable to battle, meaning that Ash has won the entrance battle. Ecstatic, Ash runs over to Lucario and congratulates it on a well-fought battle. Raihan approaches Ash and admits that he lost. After taking a {{wp|selfie}} with Ash, Raihan swears to defeat both him and Leon someday and tells him not to lose until then.

With the season's final entrance battle completed, the eight Trainers advancing to the Masters Eight Tournament have been decided. In addition to Ash, who is now ranked eighth, said Trainers include [[Unova]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Iris}}; [[Lumiose Conference]] winner [[Alain]]; Kalos Champion [[Diantha]]; the combined Champion of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], {{an|Lance}}; [[Hoenn]] Champion {{an|Steven Stone}}; [[Sinnoh]] Champion {{an|Cynthia}}; and Leon, the undefeated Monarch and Galar Champion.

==Blurb==


Ash is training fiercely for his upcoming Masters Eight entrance battle against Raihan, and when he sees Goh’s Froakie evolve into Frogadier, he gets an idea! Realizing that his friendship with Lucario is similar to the bond he shares with Greninja, he and Goh travel to Kalos. They find Greninja, who runs circles around Lucario in battle, but eventually Lucario learns how to focus its Aura powers and connect with Ash on a closer level. And when gigantic roots attack, the Pokémon show their strengths and defeat them together! With Lucario boasting newfound strength, Greninja once again departs—but Ash knows they’ll always be close despite being regions apart!

==Plot==
While most of [[Cerise Laboratory]]'s staff and [[Chloe]] are watching a [[television]] broadcast about {{Ash}} and [[Raihan]]'s [[JN109|upcoming]] [[World Coronation Series]] match, which will be the last entrance battle of the season, Ash himself is hard at work {{pkmn|training}} with his Pokémon at Cerise Park. The training session is paused when Goh and Chloe come to bring the Pokémon some {{pkmn|food}}. {{AP|Lucario}}, however, is eager to keep going, and pulls {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} aside to act as its sparring partner. Inspired by this, Goh's {{p|Froakie}} also challenges [[Chloe's Eevee]] to a practice match. Following a tackle from Eevee, Froakie suddenly [[evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Goh|Frogadier}}. While Goh celebrates this, the sight stirs something in Ash's memories, and he turns to Lucario, inviting it to come meet his old friend, {{AP|Greninja}}. As Ash and Goh board a plane towards [[Kalos]], Ash explains that when he and Greninja battled together, it was as if [[Bond Phenomenon|they became one]], which is what Lucario's [[Aura]] also feels like to him, so he wants the two of them to meet each other.

In [[Hammerlocke]], Raihan is greeted by his fans, who promise to come to cheer for him during his battle. Raihan assures them that he won't lose, but his demeanor changes once inside [[Hammerlocke Stadium|his Stadium]]. Calling out his {{p|Duraludon}}, he admits to himself that he never expected Ash to rise through the ranks so quickly, and recalls a defeat in the hands of {{an|Leon}}, which started his habit of taking {{wp|selfie}}s. He swears to fulfill his dream of being the one to defeat Leon and starts training with Duraludon.

Arriving in Kalos, Ash and Goh start looking around a forest to find Greninja. However, they see no sign of it despite looking around for a whole day. As they camp out for the night, Ash starts recounting his history with Greninja to Goh; how Froakie had been the [[XY002|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}} in Kalos; how he raised it into a Greninja; how they, at one point, had even fought, due to Ash's obsessive focus on winning; how they had [[XY121|eventually made up]] and gone on to [[XY131|fight in the finals]] of the [[Lumiose Conference|Kalos League]]; and, ultimately, how they had [[XY139|parted ways]] so that Greninja could continue to protect Kalos. Goh hopes they can meet it soon, and Ash hopes for the same as the two boys fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, both Ash and Lucario suddenly jolt awake, sensing something that they think is Greninja. Goh wakes up in time to see the two running off and follows after them. Lucario soon finds what it sensed, but instead of Greninja, it's a cluster of [[Giant Rock|giant roots]]. Lucario tries to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} on them, but the attack is easily deflected by them. A root tries to attack Lucario but is sliced apart by Greninja's {{m|Cut}} before it can hit, the {{pkmn|category|Ninja Pokémon}} making its appearance. Ash and Goh also arrive at the scene, and Ash is happy to see Greninja again, commanding his old partner in attacking the roots. Syncing up with Greninja, Ash is able to see the weak spot of the roots and has Greninja attack it with {{m|Water Shuriken}}, causing the roots to burst apart and disappear, leaving Goh amazed at Greninja's strength.

With the threat over, Ash goes over to properly greet Greninja. Lucario also approaches Greninja, and Ash asks Greninja to battle him and Lucario. Greninja accepts the request, but despite Ash being able to sense which direction Greninja's attacks are coming from, Lucario is simply unable to match its speed and react in time, resulting in it quickly getting overwhelmed. Even when Ash tries to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Lucario, it rejects the process in favor of just charging ahead, which doesn't yield any results. Frustrated, Lucario eventually runs off, and Greninja goes after it, finding it sitting next to a stream. Greninja leads Lucario into the stream, creating a series of ripples by slightly moving its legs. Lucario mimics this, gradually syncing its ripples with Greninja's. Meanwhile, Ash talks with Goh about how he feels that Greninja and Lucario are alike, as they both have wanted to grow stronger since the moment he met them.

Lucario and Greninja's practice is suddenly interrupted when they both sense a root being about to attack Ash and Goh, which indeed occurs as they head back to help. Ash and Goh try to fight the roots, which are bigger than the last ones they saw, but {{AP|Pikachu}} and Cinderace's attacks do nothing against them. Fortunately, Lucario and Greninja come to their aid and Ash has them attack the roots, this time also successfully Mega Evolving Lucario. The two Pokémon fight together as a perfect team, cutting and tearing apart the roots until they all coil together. Ash has Greninja prepare a Water Shuriken while Lucario starts charging up an Aura Sphere. Being in perfect sync with Ash, Lucario responds to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s willpower, making its Aura Sphere grow bigger than ever before. Greninja and Lucario's attacks are launched, obliterating the remaining roots. As Lucario reverts to its regular form, Ash congratulates his partner, much to its delight.

Come sunset, Ash prepares to part ways with Greninja again, assuring it that they'll be sure to come see it again. Greninja nods and disappears from the site in a flash, having helped Ash and Lucario in improving their chances against Raihan, who is still working equally hard in preparation for the entrance battle, sharing Ash's passion in aiming to face Leon.

==Trivia==
[[File:JN108 AS.png|thumb|175px|The "After the story" artwork for this episode]]
* [[Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!]]: {{p|Greninja}}
* This episode marks the first appearance of [[Ash's Greninja]] since ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', 254 episodes earlier.
** This episode also marks the first appearance of its species in the {{pkmn|anime}} since then.
* This episode marks the first time one of {{Ash}}'s [[released Pokémon]] makes a physical appearance outside of the [[series]] it was released in.
* This episode features the following flashbacks, which have all been redrawn to match the style introduced in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'':
** Ash {{pkmn2|Caught|catching}} {{p|Froakie}} as his first [[Kalos]] Pokémon in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''.
** Ash's dream of Greninja walking away from him in ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]''.
*** Ash says he and Greninja "had a fight because he tried too hard to win a battle" as this flashback is shown. While Ash didn't have a direct fight with Greninja in said episode, he is likely referring to the aftermaths of their [[Snowbelle Gym]] battle in ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'', which made them feel dispirited and separate briefly.
** Ash and Greninja spending a night together at the {{rt|20|Kalos|Winding Woods}} in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]''.
** Ash and Greninja facing [[Alain]] and his [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X in the [[Lumiose Conference]] finals in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]''.
** Ash releasing Greninja in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]''.
*** For reasons unknown, flashbacks to scenes that featured [[Bond Phenomenon|Ash-Greninja]] are changed to feature regular Greninja instead.
* [[Shinji Miyazaki]]'s music from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' is reused as background music in this episode.
* The [[One, Two, Three|opening animation]] is updated to include [[Goh's Frogadier]] and [[Raihan]].
* Ash, [[Goh]], and {{AP|Pikachu}} narrate the preview for the [[JN109|next episode]].

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese texts depicting [[Hammerlocke Stadium]] and Kalos [[region]]'s names are edited out.

==Plot==
Though {{Ash}} currently holds the lead in numbers against {{an|Leon}} in their [[Full Battle]] in the finals of the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] four to three, his [[Party|team]] members are growing tired from the fighting they have already done. On the other hand, all of Leon's remaining members are still wholly fresh. {{AP|Dragonite}} begins the newest matchup against Leon's {{p|Rillaboom}} by countering its {{m|Drum Beating}} with {{m|Hurricane}}, dealing {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} [[damage]]. Rillaboom responds to this by beating its drum even harder, making the roots block most of the [[move]] and pummel Dragonite down to the ground. Due to Drum Beating's effect, Dragonite also suffers a {{stat|Speed}} drop as it stands back up. Ash follows up with the "{{m|Draco Meteor|Dragonite Meteor}}" strategy that [[JN130|defeated]] {{p|Dragapult}}, but Leon is prepared for it now and has Rillaboom swat all the meteors away with Drum Beating before producing another root to grab Dragonite à la {{m|Vine Whip}} and send it back to the ground once more. Dragonite roars with determination and immediately charges back in with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, which Rillaboom meets with {{m|Acrobatics}}, nimbly moving around the flurry of Dragon Claws before dealing the finishing blow with an open palm thrust, showing off how Leon can handle opponents even while at a [[type]] disadvantage.

The next Pokémon to rejoin the battle on Ash's side is {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}. The two {{stat|Attack|physically}} oriented Pokémon clash with {{m|Meteor Assault}} and {{m|High Horsepower}}, putting raw power against raw power. Ultimately, Sirfetch'd wins the clash of brute force and sends Rillaboom flying back. However, Rillaboom is still not out yet and stands back up while leaning on its drum. With Sirfetch'd [[Recharge|momentarily immobilized]] due to using Meteor Assault, Rillaboom gets a free chance to attack and sends Sirfetch'd flying with High Horsepower before following it up with Drum Beating. Sirfetch'd glides towards Rillaboom by riding on its shield and dodges the roots as it prepares to use {{m|Fury Cutter}}, abandoning its shield when Rillaboom leaps towards it with Acrobatics. Grabbing the discarded shield, Rillaboom disrupts the Fury Cutter before it can make contact by throwing the shield right back at its owner and then slamming Sirfetch'd itself down to the ground. The {{pkmn|category|Wild Duck Pokémon}} struggles to stand back up but ultimately fails to do so. In just two rounds, Leon has turned the tide and completely seized the advantage.

Leon thanks Ash for having given him the chance to show off his full potential; however, he also feels sad at the thought that this exciting battle is going to end soon. Ash declares that the match isn't over yet and sends out {{AP|Dracovish}}, who's still utilizing the glowing spikes it awakened earlier. A clash between Drum Beating and {{m|Ice Fang}} ensues, and while Dracovish is momentarily thrown back, it quickly pins the roots down by sticking its spikes into them and then biting down on them. The ice-covered roots shatter within seconds, much to Rillaboom's frustration. Dracovish continues its assault with {{m|Dragon Rush}}, carrying on the spirit of its fallen friend Sirfetch'd as Rillaboom meets the attack head-on with High Horsepower. The two powerful moves clash as Rillaboom attempts to push back, but its stamina finally runs out and it collapses, evening the odds once more. Leon responds to this [[Fainting|knockout]] by sending out the Pokémon that started this battle, {{p|Cinderace}}, who wastes no time in dealing a big hit with {{m|High Jump Kick}}, its {{a|Libero}} [[Ability]] [[Type change|changing it]] into a {{t|Fighting}} type in the process. A collision between {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Pyro Ball}} follows, canceling out both moves. Dracovish next tries to land a {{m|Fishious Rend}} but is countered and sent flying back by an {{m|Iron Head}}. With Dracovish visibly running low on energy, Ash is determined to make the next attack land and orders a Dragon Rush. Cinderace charges in with High Jump Kick and jumps over Dracovish's attack at the last second before landing its attack from above, bringing an end to the Fossil Pokémon's time in the battle.

With Ash only having one Pokémon left to his name, Leon [[recall]]s Cinderace so he can finish the match with his ace, {{p|Charizard}}. As Ash's last Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, reenters the battlefield, Leon takes a moment to reveal to Ash how Charizard was the [[Starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] he ever {{pkmn2|caught}} and battled with, making them inseparable, lifelong partners with a long history together. Ash assures that the same also stands true for him and Pikachu, which is why he intends Pikachu to be the one to defeat Charizard. Smirking at Ash's confidence, Leon declares that their being partners is why he intends to finish this with Charizard, recalling his partner and [[Gigantamax]]ing it. Unfaltering, Ash calls for a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which Charizard counters with {{m|Max Rockfall}}. While Pikachu succeeds in jumping over the move, the brief {{weather|sandstorm}} created by the [[Max Move]] disrupts the Thunderbolt before it can go off. Despite this, the jump Pikachu made to avoid the attack has put him on an even level with Charizard's head, allowing him to land an {{m|Iron Tail}} on it. Gigantamax Charizard doesn't even flinch from this hit, and as Pikachu lands back on the ground, Charizard surrounds him in a vortex of {{m|Max Wyrmwind}}. Although Pikachu manages to endure the attack, Ash can't help but be impressed by the power of Gigantamax. Glancing at his [[Z-Power Ring]], he knows there's only one thing he can do to match that power and tosses [[Ash's hat|his hat]] to [[Pikachu in a cap|Pikachu]]. With [[Ash's friends]], family, and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|Pokémon}} from [[Alola]] watching everything through [[television]], Ash executes his and Pikachu's [[Signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. His excitement peaking, Leon meets Ash's full power with his own and orders Charizard to use {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}. The ultimate Z-Move and Charizard's [[G-Max Move]] clash in a display of power that shakes the entire [[Wyndon Stadium]] and creates a giant vortex of fire and electricity that spirals into the clouds above. Amidst the ferocity of the clashing moves, Leon exclaims that he's always dreamed of pitting Gigantamax against a Z-Move, which Ash agrees with as well.

While the two devastating attacks continue their struggle for dominance, in [[Hammerlocke]], [[Professor Magnolia]] is observing {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} at the [[Energy Plant]] beneath [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], noticing that the [[Legendary Pokémon]]'s [[Galar]] particles are reacting in a way she's never seen before. With a [[Cry|roar]], the Gigantic Pokémon unleashes a {{m|Dynamax Cannon}} into the air and breaks out of the Stadium. As Professor Magnolia fears the possibility of another [[Darkest Day]], the clash between Ash and Leon's ultimate attacks finally ends in a devastating burst of energy. However, even after Charizard's Gigantamax state ends, the dark clouds over Wyndon Stadium do not disappear as they normally do. In the audience, [[Sonia]] theorizes that the clash of Gigantamax and a Z-Move, combined with Ash's earlier use of [[Mega Evolution]], is the reason behind this unusual situation. Things only continue to get all the more unexpected and unusual when Eternatus suddenly appears over the Stadium and lets out a loud roar.

==Major events==

==Blurb==

May and Drew are in a battle to reach the final four of the Grand Festival, and both Coordinators have some powerful combinations up their sleeve. May even picked up a few tricks from watching Ash's Battle Dome match against Tucker! Her Combusken and Squirtle give it their all against Drew's Flygon and Absol, and nobody in the arena can even predict which way things are going to go.

Once Flygon and Squirtle are knocked out, that's when things really get exciting. Absol's Water Pulse is bad news for a Fire-type like Combusken, but Combusken hangs in there and even comes up with an unexpected move, Overheat! Absol uses Water Pulse again but Combusken's Overheat protects it in the nick of time, and the clock runs out on the battle. It's up to the judges to decide the winner: May!

Elsewhere, Ash faces a battle of his own as he tries to catch the mischievous Aipom for once and for all. With Pikachu's help, he catches the Pokémon for his team and goes to watch May battle Solidad in the semifinals. Solidad knows exactly how to counter May's powerful battling style, and it's Solidad who goes on to win the Grand Festival. May is disappointed, but her friends cheer her up. Now it's off to the Battle Pyramid for Ash's rematch with Brandon!

==Plot==
The battle between {{an|May}} and her [[rival]] [[Drew]] in the quarterfinals of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] continues, with {{TP|May|Squirtle}} launching a {{m|Bubble}} [[Move|attack]] that fills the arena, while {{TP|May|Combusken}} glides through with {{m|Sky Uppercut}} for a combination that lowers Drew’s points. However, Drew’s {{p|Flygon}} evades, while a {{m|Razor Wind}} from Absol batters Squirtle and Combusken. Flygon follows on with a ferocious {{m|Flamethrower}} while Combusken counterattacks with {{m|Fire Spin}}, resulting in an explosion that pushes both Pokémon back and deducts points on both sides. Drew doesn't hesitate and calls for a "Dragon Formation" combo; Absol launches another Razor Wind and Flygon adds {{m|Dragon Breath}} to Absol's attack. Both Combusken and Squirtle attempt to dodge, but Drew's combination is so massive that both Pokémon end up struck. In the stands, {{an|Brock}} is impressed by Drew's combination, noting it must have taken an incredible amount of time to perfect it. {{Ash}} and [[Max]] call out to May, telling her not to give up. Backstage, [[Solidad]] watches with firm intent, while high in the bleachers, [[Harley]] notes that Drew has finally stopped going easy on May. Flygon and Absol rush forward with a {{m|Steel Wing}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} respectively. As the two opponents close in, May evaluates the situation and directs Combusken and Squirtle to launch a Fire Spin and Bubble combination, scoring a direct hit on the opposition. Ash and Max instantly [[AG153|recognize]] the combination as being similar to the combination used by [[Tucker]] at the [[Battle Dome]]. Brock compliments May on drawing experience from recent travels. Solidad wonders how Drew will respond to May's counter. Harley is infuriated by May's display, inferring that she thinks he isn't skilled enough to face her strongest combinations. As multiple members of the audience watch his tantrum, he directs multiple violent threats at May.

The [[Contest Battle]] timer slides to just below four minutes while Drew and May continue the match. Squirtle withdraws into its shell and uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Absol uses {{m|Flash}}, blinding Combusken but having no effect on Squirtle. Flygon attempts to use its Steel Wing attack to divert Squirtle but only manages to knock him above the arena. With Flygon's back turned, Squirtle launches a devastating array of Bubbles towards Flygon. Absol responds to divert the attack with Razor Wind, but Combusken intervenes with his Fire Spin, allowing the Bubble attack to hit Flygon. Upon Squirtle's descent, he strikes down with a finishing {{m|Ice Beam}} just inches away from Flygon, [[fainting|knocking it out]]. As Squirtle begins its final descent, Absol takes advantage of the time and uses Iron Tail to launch Squirtle into a stadium wall, rendering Squirtle unable to battle. Both May and Drew recall their unconscious Pokémon.

The Contest battle now resumes as a one-on-one fight with May's Combusken against Drew's Absol, and two minutes remaining on the clock. Combusken uses {{m|Mega Kick}} and Absol launches into an Iron Tail, with each side scoring a hit on the opposition. Absol manages to strike with an additional Razor Wind hitting Combusken for a direct hit before he is able to recover, knocking more of May's points off. Combusken launches another ferocious Fire Spin, but Absol blocks it with a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack, scoring a super-effective hit. As the water dissipates, Combusken's body begins glowing red, and May is instantly reminded of [[Ash's Torkoal]] as a large amount of steam begins forming around its body. She then realizes Combusken has just learned a new move - {{m|Overheat}}. Drew doesn't hesitate to attempt to gain the advantage and directs Absol to launch another Razor Wind towards Combusken. As the attack approaches, Combusken uses Overheat, generating an extraordinary amount of firepower that blocks Absol's attack and hits for direct damage. May calls for another Overheat attack, though it is weaker than the last, and Absol’s counterattack with Water Pulse dissipates the {{type|Fire}} attack. As steam fills the air, Absol glides forward, attempting to blind Combusken with Flash, but Combusken flips forward and blocks out the light with its feet. Combusken uses the advantage of the close range by launching another devastating Overheat attack which engulfs Absol in the magnificent flames. Up in the stands, Ash and Brock become concerned that May is overusing her new attack, taking note of how Combusken seems burnt out from repeated usage of Overheat. Absol manages to shake off the attack, and the added shimmer effect also negates some of May’s points. Drew notices Combusken's fatigue from the continual Overheat attacks and takes advantage of Absol striking forward with a Razor Wind, hitting Combusken for direct damage. Absol strikes forward with another Water Pulse attack. Combusken manages to use another Overheat attack with a much weaker force, and it proves ineffective against the Water-type attack. The water engulfs Combusken, leaving May with precious few points. To everyone's surprise, however, Combusken is still able to continue. Absol rushes in to strike with Iron Tail, propelling itself into the air. May smiles and orders Combusken to use Sky Uppercut, much to Drew's shock. Combusken drags its claws along the stage floor to generate sparks. Combusken soars into the air and scores a direct hit just as the battle timer expires. May is announced as the winner of the close round and wins a place in the semifinals. May's friends are overjoyed with the result, while Drew offers his nod of approval as well. Brock realizes that May was intentionally using Overheat over and over again to lure Drew in close so that she could attack with Sky Uppercut to finish the battle.
[[File:Ash catching Aipom.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash after catching Aipom]]
As the stadium showers May with applause, {{an|Aipom}}, who arrived earlier in the match and had been awed by the display, begins jumping with joy, swiping [[Ash's hat]] once more, and rushes out of the arena. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} give chase, though the pursuit quickly ends when Aipom simply throws Ash's hat back to him. Aipom begins leaping on the spot with fists ready, and Ash realizes she wants to battle. So, Ash begins his second attempt to try to capture Aipom as Pikachu blazes forward with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Aipom evades the attack and uses {{m|Swift}} making direct damage. Pikachu recovers and counterattacks with his Iron Tail. Aipom quickly recovers from the attack and replies with a {{m|Focus Punch}} which knocks Pikachu to the ground. Aipom continues jumping up and down in excitement. Ash loves Aipom's spunk and battling spirit and has Pikachu unleash a devastating {{m|Thunderbolt}}. As Aipom is stunned by the attack, Ash launches a {{i|Poké Ball}} at Aipom. The Poké Ball's brilliant red light shines off and on before finally stopping, marking that {{AP|Aipom}} has finally been caught. As Ash collects his newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, an audience of people around him begins applauding. [[Scott]] soon arrives on the scene, instantly getting Ash's attention.

May and Drew watch backstage as Solidad wins her second-round match with her {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Lapras}}. Drew warns May that Solidad will be a tough opponent, and she cannot be beaten with power alone. Soon May’s semifinal clash with Solidad is well underway. Solidad has chosen her {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Slowbro}} while May has chosen {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and Combusken. With two minutes remaining in the match, Solidad still has over two-thirds of her score, while May's points have been depleted to only one-fourth. Munchlax launches forward with a {{m|Focus Punch}} while Slowbro uses its {{m|Psychic}} attack to rotate around and counterattack, dissipating Munchlax's attack and knocking him backward. Combusken's devastating Fire Spin momentarily envelops Pidgeot, though Solidad calls for a {{m|Feather Dance}}. The extraordinary feathers dissipate the flames and begin raining down on Combusken and Munchlax. Slowbro uses {{m|Yawn}} which puts Combusken to sleep.

Up in the audience, Ash and Max painfully note how the battle just keeps getting worse and worse for May. Brock is confused as to how Solidad is dictating the battle's pace, a feat that her battle style in the previous rounds normally would not accomplish. May orders a {{m|Solar Beam}} attack from Munchlax, but Slowbro uses Psychic to evade it while Pidgeot launches into a {{m|Double Team}} formation that strikes Combusken. Scott explains that Solidad has succeeded in getting May to attack with powerful attacks over and over again and easily dodge them, leading to big points being stolen. Scott also notes that May's strategy is quite similar to the gameplan Ash seems to consistently favor - heavy offense with dazzling attacks. As this is the strategy Solidad normally uses herself, Scott explains Solidad recognized that continuing to do so would play to May's strengths, just as it did during her battles against Harley and Drew. Since May has watched Ash battle ever since she was a novice, she unconsciously adopted his approach to battling, and it is proving completely ineffective against Solidad's adjustments. Slowbro launches a finishing {{m|Hyper Beam}} as Pidgeot speeds forward with an {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and the two attacks knock both of May’s Pokémon out, advancing Solidad to the Grand Festival finals in a lopsided fashion. May shows her support for Solidad with a respectful bow, though she is clearly upset by the loss. She greatly thanks Munchlax and Combusken for their efforts in getting her to the top four. Heading backstage, May meets up with Ash, Brock, and Max who compliment her on her amazing campaign. Despite the compliments, May cannot help but be devastated over her loss and begins to cry. As she sobs, her friends comfort her, knowing that she's still made a big step on her journey. Later, Solidad wins the Kanto Grand Festival and is presented with the magnificent [[Ribbon Cup]], with the stadium filled with applause from the crowd and confetti.

Later that night, an after-party is held for all the participating contestants. Drew begins to leave as May manages to catch up to him holding a solitary rose. She wishes him an exuberant parting as he walks off dispersing into the distance. May, as confident as ever, is now ready to head towards the artful [[Battle Pyramid]]. Scott tells Ash that the Battle Pyramid is near the ruins of [[Fennel Valley]], and Max reviews his [[PokéNav]] and finds that Fennel Valley isn't too far from the [[Indigo Plateau]]. With that, the group finally advances onto the final stretch of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} adventure.

==Trivia==
* This episode is the last to feature the [[Pokémon Trivia Quiz]]. The final ten episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' had no special feature, but {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lectures returned in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''.
** Questions: 1. What color is the [[Pokémon Center]] roof? 2. How many Pokémon appeared?
** Answers: 1. Orange 2. 5
* This episode concludes the three-part [[Kanto Grand Festival]] arc.
* During her {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Drew]], {{an|May}} uses a {{t|Fire}}-and-{{t|Water}} tactic inspired by the same tactic used by [[Tucker]] in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]''. The only difference is that she used {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Bubble}} in place of {{m|Fire Blast}} and {{m|Water Pulse}}.
* An extended version of [[Spurt!]] plays during {{Ash}}'s battle with {{AP|Aipom}}.
* The [[Magikarp salesman]] is part of the crowd that watches Ash {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Aipom.
* Not only does {{TRT}} not recite their motto or blast off as with the rest of the arc, but [[James]] and {{MTR}} have only one line each in this episode.
* {{an|Brock}} narrates the preview for the [[AG183|next episode]].
* Like ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', the third and final episode of the region's [[Grand Festival]], has May battle Drew, and Ash's plot revolves around his sixth party member.

===Errors===
[[File:Drew blue eyes.png|thumb|200px|Drew with blue eyes]]
* None of the moves used in May and Drew's battle during the previous episode affected their scores at all. Absol had even landed a direct hit on Combusken with Iron Tail in that episode, but the first deduction of points occurred in this episode—and to Drew—when Combusken uses Sky Uppercut while surrounded by Bubble, a combination that failed.
* After Squirtle appears above Flygon, [[Drew]]'s eyes are blue instead of green.
* The last time Razor Wind hits Combusken in the dub, Ash comments that the scores are even when the scoreboard just showed that Drew is clearly in the lead.
* After Water Pulse hits Combusken, May's score bar is larger than before.
* When {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} hops in excitement before stealing Ash's hat, her right foot has a line through it.
* When Ash throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} at Aipom, the crowd disappears.

===Dub edits===
* In two oddly violent lines, [[Harley]] threatens to "wring her tiny neck with that bandanna" after May uses her Fire-and-Water tactic and "pound that puny punk" when she defeats Drew.

}}
The '''Temple of Sinnoh''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{tt|神殿|しんでん}}''' ''Sinnoh Temple'') is a location on the peak of [[Mount Coronet]] in [[Hisui]], built as a monument to {{p|Arceus}}, also known as almighty Sinnoh. At the entrance of the temple are statues of the ancient hero's Pokémon: {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, Hisuian {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Sneasler}}, Hisuian {{p|Electrode}}, Hisuian {{p|Braviary}}, and Hisuian {{p|Avalugg}}.

Fixtures modeled after Arceus's likeness such as it's golden cross-like wheel and head are emblazoned on the temple's structure.

In present-day [[Sinnoh]], the temple's ruins are known as the [[Spear Pillar]].

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
The {{player}} first travels to the Temple of Sinnoh to prevent [[Galaxy Team]] Commander [[Kamado]] from recklessly trying to deal with the Pokémon sighted at the space-time rift above Mount Coronet. After being defeated in {{pkmn|battle}}, Kamado sees the error of his ways and apologizes for banishing the player from [[Jubilife Village]]. At the end of the temple, either Dialga (if the player chose [[Adaman]] during Mission 14) or Palkia (if the {{player}} chose [[Irida]] during [[Task#Mission|Mission]] 14) will then emerge from the [[space-time rift]]. The player will try to subdue the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with the [[Red Chain]] created by the [[lake guardians]], but fails, forcing them to fight and catch it.

After the player has caught the Legendary Pokémon, its counterpart will appear and force the player to retreat. Once the player has obtained the [[Origin Ball]], they return to the temple to face it, accompanied by the Legendary Pokémon captured earlier. The opposing Legendary Pokémon transforms into its {{form|Dialga and Palkia|Origin Forme}}, destroying the temple and all its statues in the process, and must be quelled using balms before the player can use the [[Origin Ball]] to catch it.

During the post-game, the player returns to the ruins of the temple, where [[Volo]] reveals that he was the one who sought out {{p|Giratina}} and had it tear open the space-time rift to anger Dialga/Palkia, ultimately causing the player's arrival in Hisui. Holding the last one of the 18 [[Plate]]s, he challenges the player to get other 17 Plates from them so he can meet {{p|Arceus}} and use its power to recreate the world. After being defeated, he summons Giratina to his aid, forcing the player to defeat it as well. Once Giratina is defeated, Volo hands the player the last Plate and leaves, swearing to create his new world [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|no matter how many centuries it will take]].

Once the player has caught at least one of every non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon in Hisui, they return to the temple once again and play the [[Azure Flute]], revealing a glowing stairway to the [[Hall of Origin]], where Arceus awaits them.

After defeating Arceus, the player can return to the Temple of Sinnoh for rematches with Arceus, as well as Origin Forme Dialga or Palkia.

According to [[Ingo]], the temple was built a long time ago using stone mined out of the [[Ancient Quarry]]. According to [[Old Verse|Old Verse 11]], both people and Pokémon worked together to mine the stone, but humans were ultimately responsible for carving the statues of the ancient hero's Pokémon.

==Geography==
The Temple of Sinnoh is located at the very peak of [[Mount Coronet]], although the north side of the temple stands above a vast snowy valley surrounded by mountain ranges of nearly equal height. It stands in the northwest corner of the [[Coronet Highlands]], completely surrounded by [[Cloudcap Pass]]. Since the northern section of Cloudcap Pass is completely impassable, the only known entrance to the Temple is through the [[Stone Portal]], a small straight tunnel that passes underneath it. After exiting the Stone Portal, there is a single straight trail upwards to the south side of the Temple. The path widens twice, once halfway up the trail and again at the base of the Temple itself.

==Shops==
In Mission 18: "Atop Mount Coronet", [[Volo]] will act as a temporary shopkeeper halfway up the trail to the Temple of Sinnoh. Volo will not be available to purchase items from after completing the mission.

===Mission 27: "Seeking the Remaining Plates"===
Volo summons {{p|Giratina}} in its {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme}} immediately after his main team is defeated. [[Experience]] is awarded, but the player is not given a chance to heal. During this battle, Giratina is filled with terrible might, which means that all Giratina's stats are boosted, and it will take reduced indirect damage, such as from {{status|poison}}ing and splinters. Upon being defeated for the first time, Giratina changes into its Origin Forme and heals itself completely, effectively making the second part of the battle against two Pokémon.

;Part 1
Togekiss has effort level 1 in its stats.

[[File:TempleofSinnohAstralRadiance155.jpg|200px|thumb|The Temple of Sinnoh in the TCG]]
{{main|Temple of Sinnoh (Astral Radiance 155)}}
'''Temple of Sinnoh''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Stadium card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Space Juggler}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Astral Radiance}} expansion, with artwork by [[Oswaldo KATO]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It makes all {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s attached to all Pokémon provide {{TCG|Colorless}} Energy with no other effect.

==Trivia==
* After the Temple of Sinnoh is destroyed, the ruins resemble the version of Spear Pillar found in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond}}, regardless of which Pokémon is responsible for destroying it.
* Volo alludes to its present-day name by describing the ruins as "pillars now turned into spears, stabbing into the heavens."

==Blurb==

Ash is still recovering from his defeat at the Battle Pyramid, while May is also melancholy about her own defeat at the Grand Festival. Professor Oak shows up at the Pokémon Center in Fennel Valley, with a special care package meant to cheer Ash up. It contains a poster with the prints of his Pokémon, a fishing lure from Misty, and food from his mother. There's even a postcard from Gary in Sinnoh, which gets Ash thinking about their rivalry and actually pulls him out of his funk.

May is still in a mood, but Drew visits her and says they should battle. The kids begin to set up, but when they are picking judges to oversee the battle, Team Rocket shows up disguised as the three official Contest judges. The kids are only slightly fooled, but the plot is blown wide open by the appearance of Harley and his Cacturne. He threatens Team Rocket and gets them to sit in the audience instead.

The battle begins, with Professor Oak and Scott as judges, and Nurse Joy as the MC. It's a Double Battle, with May's Combusken and Beautifly versus Drew's Roselia and Butterfree. The two are somewhat evenly matched, until May starts getting hit hard by Drew's awesome combos. He finishes her off with Psybeam combined with SolarBeam. Drew goes to see her after the battle, but she's actually okay with losing, and admits that she got overconfident when it comes to Pokémon Contests. Drew tells her he's going to the Johto region for Pokémon Contests, and Harley jumps in to say he's headed there too. Team Rocket also happens to be nearby, but when Jessie admits she's not going to follow the rest of them to Johto, Harley gets mad and sends the entire team blasting off. With thoughts of Johto on her mind, May encourages Ash, while Professor Oak writes a new poem.

==Plot==
After losing against {{an|Brandon}} in the [[Battle Pyramid]], {{Ash}} sits in a hot spring reflecting. He wonders out loud what could possibly be the thing "only he could teach himself." Meanwhile inside the [[Fennel Valley]] [[Pokémon Center]]'s [[Contest Hall]], {{an|May}} is also going through a hard time, Ash's recent defeat having reminded her of her own loss in the [[Grand Festival]] against [[Solidad]]. Even the return of {{TP|May|Skitty}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} is not doing much to lift her spirits. [[Scott]] and {{an|Brock}} comment about how she isn't taking the loss very well and how she is worried about how her battling style is a lot like Ash's. May decides that she should practice her Contest moves. Skitty uses {{m|Blizzard}} and Beautifly uses {{m|Psychic}} which both [[Contest combination|combine]] to create a blue horizontal snow tornado but May doesn't react positively. As Ash and [[Max]] arrive and greet Skitty and Beautifly, May tells them that [[Caroline]] told her that Beautifly had learned how to use Psychic, so she decided to recall them to her team to spend some time together and train. Ash asks how the practicing is going, and May admits that it isn't going very well. Brock and Max suggest that she and Ash practice together, since both are going through the same sort of struggle. Ash is all for it, but May adamantly refuses, much to everyone's confusion. The group's musings are suddenly interrupted by the appearance of {{an|Professor Oak}}.

In the Pokémon Center lounge, Professor Oak states that word of Ash's recent difficulties spread word, so various family and friends put together gifts for him. First, Ash receives a banner made by {{Tracey}} and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}. Ash has no trouble identifying each of the prints, much to the amazement of Max. Next, he receives {{an|Misty}}'s [[Misty's special lure|lure]], and a large box of food from {{Delia}}. Finally, Professor Oak hands Ash a postcard from {{Gary}}, much to the latter's shock. The postcard is from the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], which is Gary's current base of operations for his Pokémon research. Ash pictures Gary telling him that he shouldn't let a loss get him down, especially since Ash was able to defeat Gary [[EP270|before]]. Ash decides that he is going to work even harder and won't lose against Brandon again. Professor Oak recites a poem for Ash to help him, while [[Nurse Joy]], thrilled at meeting yet another one of her idols, runs up to him and asks for his autograph. Seeing Ash's spirits lifted doesn't seem to do much to lift May's mood, however. Her thoughts are broken by the appearance of a {{TP|Drew|Roselia}}. Recognizing it instantly, May realizes that [[Drew]] must be there as well. Sure enough, Drew approaches the group, surprised they are all in Fennel Valley. Before he can say more, Nurse Joy asks for his autograph.

Back in the Contest Hall arena, May admits that she was shocked to see Drew just as she was thinking of him. Drew is surprised at this admission, though May attempts to brush it off by mentioning Ash's talk of rivals. Drew asks how May is doing after her recent loss, but he sees through her facade of "doing okay." Since the Grand Festival, Drew has been focusing on making sure his Pokémon are taken care of, even bringing them a new friend. When May doesn't react much, he realizes that May hasn't been able to get past her defeat, suggesting her current struggles are from discovering her weak points and not knowing how to conquer them. When Drew asks May to confirm his suspicions, she merely nods in admittance. Drew suggests that they have a Pokémon battle, thinking it would help clear the air after the tension of the Grand Festival. Though May is still hesitant, Ash and Brock tell her to go for it, the latter adding that it would give her mind a much-needed rest. {{TRT}} arrives dressed as [[Mr. Sukizo]], [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], and Nurse Joy and suggest that they should be the ones to judge. The group instantly suspects the three as being phony, their thoughts confirmed when a [[Harley's Cacturne|Cacturne]] suddenly appears and uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} to reveal the ruse. The trio are horrified by the appearance of [[Harley]], who screams that only ''he'' is allowed to mess with May and that he certainly doesn't need Team Rocket's help to do so, having "already waltzed down that muddy road [[AG174|once]] [[AG175|before]]." Team Rocket tries to leave, but Cacturne blocks them. Harley tells them just because he wants the trio to butt out doesn't mean he doesn't want them to leave. He tells Ash and his friends that they will act as cheerleaders today, but nobody trusts them and thinks they are plotting something.

After Nurse Joy eagerly receives an autograph from an exuberant Harley, May asks Professor Oak and Scott to judge, and Nurse Joy to be the [[Contest announcer|announcer]]. As the stands fill up with people from the Pokémon Center, Ash comments on how the battle will now feel like a real [[Contest Battle]]. At Nurse Joy's signal, May brings out {{TP|May|Combusken}} and Beautifly, while Drew brings out Roselia and his newly obtained {{p|Butterfree}}. May opens the battle with Combusken's {{m|Fire Spin}} and Beautifly's Psychic to create a fiery version of Skitty and Beautifly's earlier combination. Roselia uses {{m|Petal Dance}} to break up the flames, but Beautifly used Psychic to send the residual fireballs back at the opponents. Roselia uses {{m|Magical Leaf}} to defend, scattering flaming leaves throughout the air. With the path seemingly clear, Combusken moves into attack, but Butterfree uses a combination of {{m|Confusion}} and {{m|Gust}} to blast both Combusken and Beautifly simultaneously, greatly reducing May's score. The judges comment on how May's combinations were powerful, but Drew's seemed to be a bit more so. May tells Beautifly and Combusken to focus their energy on Butterfree. Butterfree uses {{m|Psybeam}} while Combusken dodges and uses {{m|Sky Uppercut}} which hits its mark. Roselia uses Petal Dance while Beautifly uses {{m|Silver Wind}}, but Beautifly's attack is absorbed into the petals and batter it and Combusken with even more power and beauty. Combusken attempts to turn things around with an {{m|Overheat}} attack at maximum power, but Butterfree uses {{m|Protect}} to completely block the attack. Roselia uses {{m|Solar Beam}} and Butterfree uses Psybeam to land a [[critical hit]] on Combusken and Beautifly to knock them out, giving Drew a decisive victory. May compliments Combusken and Beautifly on their hard work.

Outside, May tells Drew that she felt like she was getting overconfident and that's why she has lost. She also states her desire to find her own unique style just like Drew is attempting to do, so that she can show off her Pokémon much better. Drew reveals his intent to travel to the [[Johto]] region to enter more Contests, and that Solidad is going there as well. Harley interrupts to reveal that he is ''also'' going to the Johto region, though May isn't too thrilled about that idea. Harley asks [[Jessie]] if she is going to Johto as well, but she says that Team Rocket is more important, so she declines the offer. Angered, Harley brings out Cacturne to use Bullet Seed to send Team Rocket blasting off before Jessie can attempt to defend herself. Harley suggests to May that she should go to the Johto region as well as he prances off toward his next challenge. As Ash and the others arrive outside, having been drawn out by Team Rocket's blast off, Drew decides to depart, telling May that he expects that to see her new style the next time they meet. Drew waves good-bye as he heads to the Johto region and May thanks him for all of his help. Hearing that Drew is going to Johto brings back good memories for Ash. Brock suggests that Drew and Harley were destined to help May overcome her problems, and May says that she is not confused anymore. She says that she and Ash are on a new path, finding their own styles, and cheers for Ash to win his rematch at the Battle Pyramid. Professor Oak comes up with a poem to sum up the paths they are taking.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{an|Leon}}'s [[Full Battle]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] finals continues. While Ash is in the lead in terms of remaining Pokémon, with him having four compared to Leon's three, his [[Party|team]] members are getting exhausted from the fighting they've already done. His {{AP|Dragonite}} begins the newest matchup against Leon's {{p|Rillaboom}} by countering its {{m|Drum Beating}} with {{m|Hurricane}}, dealing {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} [[damage]]. Rillaboom responds to this by beating its drum even harder, making the roots block most of the [[move]] and pummel Dragonite down to the ground. Due to Drum Beating's effect, Dragonite also suffers a {{stat|Speed}} drop as it stands back up. Ash follows up with the "{{m|Draco Meteor|Dragonite Meteor}}" strategy that [[JN130|defeated]] {{p|Dragapult}}, but Leon is prepared for it now and has Rillaboom swat all the meteors away with Drum Beating before producing another root to grab Dragonite à la {{m|Vine Whip}} and send it back to ground once more. Dragonite roars with determination and immediately charges back in with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, which Rillaboom meets with {{m|Acrobatics}}, nimbly moving around the flurry of Dragon Claws before dealing the finishing blow with an open-palm thrust, showing off how Leon can handle opponents even while at a [[type]] disadvantage.

The next Pokémon to rejoin the battle on Ash's side is {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}. The two {{stat|Attack|physically}} oriented Pokémon clash with {{m|Meteor Assault}} and {{m|High Horsepower}}, putting raw power against raw power. Ultimately, Sirfetch'd wins the clash of brute force and sends Rillaboom flying back. However, Rillaboom is still not out yet, and stands back up while leaning on its drum. With Sirfetch'd {{status|Recharging|momentarily immobilized}} due to using Meteor Assault, Rillaboom gets a free chance to attack and sends Sirfetch'd flying with High Horsepower before following it up with Drum Beating. Sirfetch'd glides towards Rillaboom by riding on its shield and dodges the roots as it prepares to use {{m|Fury Cutter}}, abandoning its shield when Rillaboom leaps towards it with Acrobatics. Grabbing the discarded shield, Rillaboom disrupts the Fury Cutter before it can make contact by throwing the shield right back at its owner and then slamming Sirfetch'd itself down to the ground. The {{pkmn|category|Wild Duck Pokémon}} struggles to stand back up, but ultimately fails to do so. In just two rounds, Leon has turned the tide and made himself the one with more Pokémon remaining in his usable arsenal.

Leon thanks Ash for having given him the chance to show off his full potential; however, he also feels sad at the thought that this exciting battle is going to end soon. Ash declares that the match isn't over yet and sends out {{AP|Dracovish}}, who's still utilizing the glowing spikes it awakened earlier. A clash between Drum Beating and {{m|Ice Fang}} ensues, and while Dracovish is momentarily thrown back, it quickly pins the roots down by sticking its spikes into them and then biting down on them. The ice-covered roots shatter within seconds, much to Rillaboom's frustration. Dracovish continues its assault with {{m|Dragon Rush}}, carrying on the spirit of its fallen friend Sirfetch'd as Rillaboom meets the attack head-on with High Horsepower. The two powerful moves clash as Rillaboom attempts to push back, but its stamina finally runs out and it collapses, evening the odds once more. Leon responds to this [[Fainting|knockout]] by sending out the Pokémon that started this battle, {{p|Cinderace}}, who wastes no time in dealing a big hit with {{m|High Jump Kick}}, its {{a|Libero}} [[Ability]] changing it into a {{t|Fighting}} type in the process. A collision between {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Pyro Ball}} follows, cancelling out both moves. Dracovish next tries to land a {{m|Fishious Rend}}, but is countered and sent flying back by an {{m|Iron Head}}. With Dracovish visibly running low on energy, Ash is determined to make the next attack land and orders a Dragon Rush. Cinderace charges in with High Jump Kick and jumps over Dracovish's attack at the last second before landing its own attack from above, bringing an end to the Fossil Pokémon's time in the battle.

With Ash only having one Pokémon left to his name, Leon [[recall]]s Cinderace so he can finish the match with his ace, {{p|Charizard}}. As Ash's last Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, reenters the battlefield, Leon takes a moment to reveal to Ash how Charizard was the [[Starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] he ever {{pkmn2|caught}} and battled with, making them inseparable, lifelong partners with a long history together. Ash assures that the same also stands true for him and Pikachu, which is why he intends Pikachu to be the one to defeat Charizard. Smirking at Ash's confidence, Leon declares that them being partners is the reason why he intends to finish this with Charizard, recalling his partner and [[Gigantamax]]ing it. Unfaltering, Ash calls for a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which Charizard counters with {{m|Max Rockfall}}. While Pikachu succeeds in jumping over the move, the brief {{weather|sandstorm}} created by the [[Max Move]] disrupts the Thunderbolt before it can go off. Despite this, the jump Pikachu made to avoid the attack has put him on an even level with Charizard's head, allowing him to land an {{m|Iron Tail}} on it. Gigantamax Charizard doesn't even flinch from this hit, however, and as Pikachu lands back on the ground, Charizard surrounds him in a vortex of {{m|Max Wyrmwind}}. Although Pikachu manages to endure the attack, Ash can't help but be impressed by the power of Gigantamax. Glancing at his [[Z-Power Ring]], he knows there's only one thing he can do to match that power and tosses [[Ash's hat|his hat]] to [[Pikachu in a cap|Pikachu]]. With [[Ash's friends]], family, and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|Pokémon}} from [[Alola]] watching everything through [[television]], Ash executes his and Pikachu's [[Signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. His excitement peaking, Leon meets Ash's full power with his own and orders Charizard to use {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}. The ultimate Z-Move and Charizard's [[G-Max Move]] clash in a display of power that shakes the entire [[Wyndon Stadium]] and creates a giant vortex of fire and electricity. Leon exclaims that he's always dreamed of pitting Gigantamax against a Z-Move, which Ash agrees with as well.

While the two devastating attacks continue their struggle for dominance, in [[Hammerlocke]], [[Professor Magnolia]] is observing {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} at the [[Energy Plant]] beneath [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], noticing that the [[Legendary Pokémon]]'s [[Galar]] particles are reacting in a way she's never seen before. With a [[Cry|roar]], the Gigantic Pokémon unleashes a {{m|Dynamax Cannon}} into the air and breaks out of the Stadium. As Professor Magnolia fears the possibility of another [[Darkest Day]], in [[Wyndon]], the clash between Ash and Leon's ultimate attacks ends in a devastating burst of energy. However, despite Charizard's Gigantamax state ending following its third attack, the dark clouds over Wyndon Stadium do not disappear like they usually do. In the audience, [[Sonia]] theorizes that the clash of Gigantamax and a Z-Move, combined with Ash's earlier use of [[Mega Evolution]], is the reason behind this unusual situation. Things only continue to get all the more unexpected and unusual when Eternatus suddenly appears over the Stadium and lets out a loud roar.

==Major events==

* {{Ash}} and {{an|Leon}} continue their [[Full Battle]] in the finals.
* The energy created by the battle causes {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} to escape from [[Hammerlocke]] and appear over [[Wyndon Stadium]].

'''Danika''' (Japanese: '''アサヒ''' ''Asahi'') is a recurring character in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. She is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and researcher with [[Project Mew]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Danika.png|thumb|left|250px|Danika]]
Danika first appeared in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', when she contacted {{Gary}} on his [[Rotom Phone]] after receiving the feather of {{p|Moltres}} and awarded him a token with a {{p|Mew}} symbol.

She made her first in-person appearance in ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', where she explained to {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] how Project Mew operates, and gave Goh his mission of {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Mount Coronet]]. After Goh had succeeded in the mission, Danika congratulated him on his success and informed him that he was now qualified to start taking on proper [[Field Research|Trial Missions]].

Danika reappeared in ''[[JN080|Trial on a Golden Scale!]]''. She was first seen monitoring Ninetales after returning it to its natural habitat. Shortly thereafter she discussed with [[Quillon]] about Goh's future in Project Mew. Later, when Goh and Ash were surrounded by [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Nito]] and his henchmen, Danika intervened and saved them using her {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Rapid Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}. Once everything was resolved, Danika handed Goh his first Project Mew Token and encouraged him to continue giving his best.

In ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', Danika received a message from Goh, informing her that he had completed his second Trial Mission. She sent him a token before joining Quillon in facing a {{p|Regirock}} as it emerged from the ruins before them.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Danika, along with Quillon, was seen evaluating the performance of [[Goh]], {{Gary}}, and [[Horace]]'s [[Raid Battle (GO)#In the anime|Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}}.

Danika personally monitored the [[Sea Mauville]] battle royale in ''[[JN110|Narrowing the Chaser Chase!]]''. After informing the rules to the participating Challengers, at a certain point in the mission she released some Pokémon as obstacles to make the mission difficult. When Horace becomes the winner of the mission, Danika and Quillon passed the results of the participants of that moment and warned that the period for evaluation was about to end.

In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', Danika supervised one of the last Trial Missions, which was won by Horace. After the mission was completed, she joined Quillon at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] to see the conclusion of the other last mission, which Goh and Gary successfully cleared.

In [[JN129]], Danika met with the other members of Project Mew in [[Slateport City]] to begin the final expedition.

===Character===
Unlike [[Quillon]], Danika is far more welcoming and friendly, encouraging [[Goh]] to give his best. However, she also has a subtle harsh streak to her, seen when she forced Goh and Horace to battle each other to determine the winner of the Sea Mauville Trial Mission. In battle, her most friendly posture is left aside in favor of calm confidence, even choosing several opponents for battle and disqualifying the [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon Hunters]] as soon as she arrived at the place.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Houndstone may be based on various long-haired dog breeds such as the {{wp|Briard}} or the {{wp|Catalan Sheepdog}}. Houndstone's skeletal appearance and typing suggest it is based on the {{wp|undead}}. The protrusion on its head resembles a {{wp|headstone}} and a {{wp|bone}}.

====Name origin====
Houndstone may derive from ''hound'' and ''headstone''.

Hakadoggu may be a combination of 墓 ''haka'' (tomb) and ''dog''.

===History===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|left|thumb|250px|Leon and Sonia as children]]
====Pre-series====
Born and raised in [[Galar]], Leon was a childhood friend of [[Sonia]]'s. Due to having to take care of his family for a long time, she was his only friend and taught Leon the concepts of a [[Pokémon battle]]. During this period, Leon found a {{p|Charmander}} that would become [[Starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] and what motivated him to go on a [[Pokémon journey]]. Sonia and Leon traveled together when they started on their journey.

In his first victory in battle, it was evident that Leon had a natural gift for being a great Trainer. In this period, Leon met more people and knew more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', [[Rose]] was responsible for inserting Leon into the world of competitive Pokémon battles. But, Leon's closeness to Rose ended up driving Sonia away from him, which made the two go their separate ways over time. In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Rose reveals that his goal with this was to guide Leon so that he would become the hero of Galar, and be able to control {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}.

On his journey, Leon went through the {{gal|Pokémon League}} of Galar undefeated, and eventually reached the top spot among the Masters Eight of the [[World Coronation Series]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Leon Charmeleon.png|right|thumb|250px|Leon as a teenager]]
Leon debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the [[World Coronation Series#Master Class|Monarch]] of the World Coronation Series. Shortly after the battle with Lance, in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', where Leon heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. Leon saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that he had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and [[Goh]] at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', when Ash explains to some kids about his goals.
[[File:Leon and Raihan anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Raihan]]
In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Leon has a battle for the World Coronation Series with his [[rival]] [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. After a tough match, Leon emerged victorious, with this victory, Leon manages to defend his Monarch title. Afterwards, he greeted Ash and [[Chairman Rose]] and encourages Raihan to retrain so they can battle in the future.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', during a series of Pokémon attacks that were using Dynamax and Gigantamax in an uncontrolled way, he had Charizard attack a rampaging Gigantamax {{p|Centiskorch}}. After defeating it, Leon reunited with Ash, and they flew off together to deal with other rampaging Pokémon. Later, they encountered a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}}, which they defeated in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]''. He and Ash later took on a {{p|Coalossal}} that had Gigantamaxed and took it down. Soon after, Rose and [[Oleana]] arrived. Leon was later seen in [[Hammerlocke]], where it was revealed that he was suspicious of Rose, and that he planned to investigate the city's [[Energy Plant]]. This investigation took Leon to the place where {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} was being held prisoner. When Eternatus ended up breaking free and getting out of control, Leon decided that he had to capture it so he could calm the Pokémon down. Leon met Rose, who revealed his real intentions and, after confronting his former tutor together with Ash, he went to face Eternatus.
[[File:JN044.png|thumb|250px|Leon about to face Eternatus]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon and Charizard battled against Eternatus after it was re-awakened, but despite Charizard's best efforts they still struggled against the might of the Legendary Pokémon. When Leon attempted to Gigantamax Charizard, Eternatus absorbed all of the Dynamax energy from the area, preventing Leon from successfully Gigantamaxing Charizard. Along with [[Sonia]], Leon witnessed Ash and [[Goh]] joining forces with [[Hero duo (anime)#Zacian|Zacian]] and [[Hero duo (anime)#Zamazenta|Zamazenta]] and finally managing to contain the power of Eternatus. When everything was finally resolved, Sonia revealed to [[Professor Magnolia]] that Leon was searching for Rose, who had disappeared after the incident.

Leon made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'' while watching Ash's World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]].

In ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', Leon visited the [[Glimwood Tangle]] before heading to [[Ballonlea]], where he met up with Raihan, Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]]. Leon took part in [[Opal]]'s [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]] but lost to Ash. He then agreed to referee the battle between Ash and Opal.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'' and ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Leon appeared at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], watching the World Coronation Series match between Ash and [[Bea]]. During the battle, he arrived late, shocking the entire audience and serving as a commentator. At the end of the battle, Leon decided to leave without talking to any of the competitors, which left Ash disappointed.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Leon defended his title in a battle against {{EF|Flint}}. After yet another victory, Leon met up with Ash and invited him to a training session. Upon arriving at a place within the [[Wild Area]], Leon and Ash decided to camp and participate in activities with some Pokémon they met in the area. After having the experience interrupted by a pair of {{p|Corviknight}}, they discovered that one of the {{p|Rookidee}} from their nest was injured, so they decided to help them. At the end of the day, Leon revealed some feelings and doubts to Ash before leaving to meet with Goh and Sonia.

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Leon was interviewed giving his opinion on the upcoming battle between Ash and Raihan. In the [[JN109|next episode]], he was one of the commentators of said battle at the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]].
[[File:Alain and Leon.png|thumb|250px|left|Leon and Alain]]
In [[JN115]], Leon participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash and Lance, and meeting {{an|Iris}}, [[Alain]], and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be Alain. Despite Alain managing to defeat Leon's Gigantamax {{p|Rillaboom}}, Leon still won the match without needing to use his final Pokémon at all. In the [[JN116|next episode]], Leon watched Lance and [[Diantha]]'s battle, where the [[Kalos]] Champion emerged victorious. After the battle, Leon was shown to be looking forward to battling Diantha in the semi-finals. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Leon watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In [[JN122]], Leon battled Diantha in the semi-finals. He was able to defeat her entire team while only losing two of his own and advanced to the finals as a result. Afterwards, Leon and Diantha watched Ash's battle against {{an|Cynthia}}. During the battle he was quite impressed with Ash's performance and how he handled himself against his opponent. After the battle, Leon admitted to Diantha that he was looking forward to battling Ash in the finals.

In [[JN127]], Leon called Ash and Goh to [[Wyndon Stadium]], where he revealed that he, Professor Magnolia, and Sonia had been working with Eternatus for it to become comfortable around people ever since the Darkest Day incident. Seeing this, Goh decided to entrust Eternatus to Leon.

===Character===
[[File:Leon Charizard pose anime.png|thumb|250px|Leon doing his signature Charizard pose]]
Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Although Leon comes across as unstoppable, he revealed to {{Ash}} that since [[Darkest Day]] he felt powerless to deal with the threat. This made him question if there are people stronger than him and how far the strength limit of each one goes. [[Sonia]] is apparently the only person who can see this side of Leon, unlike most people, to her, Leon is more child-like in his relationship with Pokémon.

Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with [[Raihan]] and {{EF|Flint}}. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow [[Chairman Rose]]'s orders to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the [[Darkest Day]] from occurring.
[[File:Leon and Ash.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Ash]]
Leon is remarkably knowledgeable about the [[Gigantamax]]ing phenomenon, as seen in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', when he advised {{Ash}} on how to battle with his Gigantamax {{AP|Pikachu}} in order to deal with a {{p|Drednaw}} that also had Gigantamax. During Ash's battle against [[Opal]], he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of {{m|G-Max Finale}}. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how [[Mega Evolution]] works, being able to recognize the great bond {{AP|Lucario}} has with Ash.

As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon. During the course of the anime it is shown that Leon takes a keen interest in Ash's battles and more than once, Leon declared to Ash his desire to face him in an official battle. This even made Rose offer the same offer he made to Leon to be trained by him, but Ash refused even before knowing Rose's real intentions. As in the games, Leon is idealized by his younger brother [[Hop]], who yearns to defeat him in battle. Hop also reveals that Leon often talks to him about Ash's progression in the World Coronation Series.

In his battles, Leon tends to change the moves that his Pokémon uses, as first seen in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', where {{p|Charizard}} used three different moves than what it had used previously and always battles on equal terms with the opponent, always Gigantamaxing his Pokémon only after the opponent has the initiative to use it first. In his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] campaign, however, Leon took a different approach, for example [[Gigantamax]]ing his other Pokémon other than Charizard, using more direct attacks and focusing on covering the deficiencies his Pokémon have in speed and other attributes.

Like [[Leon|his game counterpart]], Leon has a difficult time with directions, resulting in him becoming lost in the [[Glimwood Tangle]] and needing [[wild Pokémon]] to show him the way to [[Ballonlea]] and [[JN100|later]] getting lost while traveling with Ash through the [[Wild Area]].

[[File:Leon JNM.png|thumb|150px|Leon in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
Leon debuted in ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he played the same role as he does in the ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. He battled [[Lance]] for the title of Monarch of the [[World Coronation Series]].

In ''[[JNM05|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', Leon had a battle against {{Ash}}, where he emerged victorious.

In ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', Leon defended his title in a battle against [[Raihan]].

In [[JNM13]] and [[JNM14]], Leon joined Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Sonia]] to prevent [[Darkest Day]] from happening. Despite their efforts, they were only able to defeat the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} when they received the help of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}.

Leon made one last appearance on [[JNM24]], in a fantasy together with other Trainers.

Magma Hideout (Jagged Pass)

2022-10-17T03:51:42Z

Swift4Sweeper: /* Intro */ Punctuation fixes in second paragraph.

{{search|hideout in the Jagged Pass, exclusive to {{game|Emerald}}|the hideout east of Lilycove City in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]]|Team Magma Hideout}}
----
{{Infobox location
|image=Magma Hideout entrance E.png
|type=volcano
|image_size=256
|location_name=Magma Hideout
|japanese_name=マグマだんアジト

The '''Magma Hideout''' (Japanese: '''マグマだんアジト''' ''Team Magma Hideout'') is [[Team Magma]]'s base of operations in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], located in the middle of [[Mt. Chimney]], with the entrance on the [[Jagged Pass]].

In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], it is instead located on a small island cave on the outskirts of [[Lilycove City]], where the [[Team Aqua Hideout]] would be in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, {{game|Emerald}}, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]].

==Geography==
[[File:Magma Hideout entrance sealed E.png|thumb|left|Team Magma's Hideout with the entrance sealed]]
This version of the Magma Hideout is located inside of [[Mt. Chimney]], only accessible if the {{player}} has obtained the [[Magma Emblem]] on [[Mt. Pyre]]. The entrance is located in the middle of [[Jagged Pass]], and before the player obtains the Magma Emblem, it is guarded by a single {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, who will battle the player once and not leave his post. It is where {{p|Groudon}} is awakened by the power of the [[Blue Orb]] just before the player battles [[Maxie]].

This Magma Hideout is notably different than the one in [[Lilycove City]]. It is a series of interconnected tunnels dug solely for the purpose of locating and awakening Groudon at the heart of the volcano, with one room containing drilling equipment used for digging the base. The deeper floors of the hideout also have multiple pools of lava. Also, unlike the Lilycove City base, no [[warp tile]]s are present here, and [[wild Pokémon]] can be found around it.

==Trivia==
* Leon shares his Japanese voice actor, [[Takahiro Sakurai]], with his counterpart from the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] miniseries.
* Sygna Suit Leon & Eternatus are the first sync pair capable of using [[Max Move|max moves]].
* Sygna Suit Leon & Eternatus are the first [[Sygna Suit]] sync pair with a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* During the "{{DL|List of story events (Masters)|Winter Wishes}}" story event, Calyrex briefly takes over {{mas|Sawyer}}'s body to {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} with Leon, referencing how {{gal|Calyrex}} frequently speaks through [[Peony]] the same way during [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]'s [[The Crown Tundra]] {{FB|Pokémon Sword and Shield|Expansion Pass}}.
* Since version 2.19.0, all versions of Leon use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). As of that version, those Trainers include {{mas|Hop}}, {{mas|Raihan}}, {{mas|Sonia}}, {{mas|Gloria}}, and {{mas|Red}}.
** Leon also uses special voice-over lines upon winning a battle with Raihan, Sonia or Red in the same team.

===Origin===
Leon's design is based on his appearance in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Charizard is Leon's signature Pokémon in the [[core series]]. Charizard's Dex entry comes from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}.

In the story of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Leon attempts to catch {{p|Eternatus}} to calm the [[Darkest Day]] but fails. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', after having [[JN127|revealed]] to be taming it to be more comfortable around people, Leon is entrusted with [[Leon's Eternatus|Eternatus]] by [[Goh]], who had previously caught the Pokémon during the Darkest Day. Eternatus's Dex entry comes from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield}}.

Leon does not own a Calyrex outside this game. Ice Rider Calyrex's Dex entry comes from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}}.

'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''ダンデ''' ''Dande'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region's [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] and becomes the strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the {{pkmn|world}} after obtaining the title of Monarch in the [[World Coronation Series]] in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''.

He is {{Ash}}'s main rival in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', with defeating Leon serving as his primary goal throughout the series.

===History===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|left|thumb|250px|Leon and Sonia as children]]
====Pre-series====
Born and raised in [[Galar]], Leon was a childhood friend of [[Sonia]]'s. Due to having to take care of his family for a long time, she was his only friend and taught Leon the concepts of a [[Pokémon battle]]. During this period, Leon found a {{p|Charmander}} that would become [[Starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] and what motivated him to go on a [[Pokémon journey]]. Sonia and Leon traveled together when they started on their journey.

In his first victory in battle, it was evident that Leon had a natural gift for being a great Trainer. In this period, Leon met more people and knew more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', [[Rose]] was responsible for inserting Leon into the world of Pokémon battles. But, Leon's closeness to Rose ended up driving Sonia away from him, which made the two go their separate ways over time. In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Rose reveals that his goal with this was to guide Leon so that he would become the hero of Galar, and be able to control {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}.

On his journey, Leon went through the {{gal|Pokémon League}} of Galar undefeated, and eventually reached the top spot among the Masters Eight of the [[World Coronation Series]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Leon Charmeleon.png|right|thumb|250px|Leon as a teenager]]
Leon debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the [[World Coronation Series#Master Class|Monarch]] of the World Coronation Series. Shortly after the battle with Lance, in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', where Leon heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. Leon saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that he had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and [[Goh]] at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', when Ash explains to some kids about his goals.
[[File:Leon and Raihan anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Raihan]]
In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Leon has a battle for the World Coronation Series with [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. After a tough match, Leon emerged victorious, with this victory, Leon manages to defend his Monarch title. Afterwards, he greeted Ash and [[Chairman Rose]] and encourages Raihan to retrain so they can battle in the future.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', during a series of Pokémon attacks that were using Dynamax and Gigantamax in an uncontrolled way, he had Charizard attack a rampaging Gigantamax {{p|Centiskorch}}. After defeating it, Leon reunited with Ash, and they flew off together to deal with other rampaging Pokémon. Later, they encountered a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}}, which they defeated in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]''. He and Ash later took on a {{p|Coalossal}} that had Gigantamaxed and took it down. Soon after, Rose and [[Oleana]] arrived. Leon was later seen in [[Hammerlocke]], where it was revealed that he was suspicious of Rose, and that he planned to investigate the city's [[Energy Plant]]. This investigation took Leon to the place where {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} was being held prisoner. When Eternatus ended up breaking free and getting out of control, Leon decided that he had to capture it so he could calm the Pokémon down. Leon met Rose, who revealed his real intentions and, after confronting his former tutor together with Ash, he went to face Eternatus.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon and Charizard battled against Eternatus after it was re-awakened, but despite Charizard's best efforts they still struggled against the might of the Legendary Pokémon. When Leon attempted to Gigantamax Charizard, Eternatus absorbed all of the Dynamax energy from the area, preventing Leon from successfully Gigantamaxing Charizard. Along with [[Sonia]], Leon witnessed Ash and [[Goh]] joining forces with [[Hero duo (anime)#Zacian|Zacian]] and [[Hero duo (anime)#Zamazenta|Zamazenta]] and finally managing to contain the power of Eternatus. When everything was finally resolved, Sonia revealed to [[Professor Magnolia]] that Leon was searching for Rose, who had disappeared after the incident.

Leon made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'' while watching Ash's World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]].

In ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', Leon visited the [[Glimwood Tangle]] before heading to [[Ballonlea]], where he met up with Raihan, Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]]. Leon took part in [[Opal]]'s [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]] but lost to Ash. He then agreed to referee the battle between Ash and Opal.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'' and ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Leon appeared at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], watching the World Coronation Series match between Ash and [[Bea]]. During the battle, he arrived late, shocking the entire audience and serving as a commentator. At the end of the battle, Leon decided to leave without talking to any of the competitors, which left Ash disappointed.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Leon defended his title in a battle against {{EF|Flint}}. After yet another victory, Leon met up with Ash and invited him to a training session. Upon arriving at a place within the [[Wild Area]], Leon and Ash decided to camp and participate in activities with some Pokémon they met in the area. After having the experience interrupted by a pair of {{p|Corviknight}}, they discovered that one of the {{p|Rookidee}} from their nest was injured, so they decided to help them. At the end of the day, Leon revealed some feelings and doubts to Ash before leaving to meet with Goh and Sonia.

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Leon was interviewed giving his opinion on the upcoming battle between Ash and Raihan. In the [[JN109|next episode]], he was one of the commentators of said battle at the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]].
[[File:Alain and Leon.png|thumb|250px|left|Leon and Alain]]
In [[JN115]], Leon participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash and Lance, and meeting {{an|Iris}}, [[Alain]], and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be Alain. Despite Alain managing to defeat Leon's Gigantamax {{p|Rillaboom}}, Leon still won the match without needing to use his final Pokémon at all. In the [[JN116|next episode]], Leon watched Lance and [[Diantha]]'s battle, where the [[Kalos]] Champion emerged victorious. After the battle, Leon was shown to be looking forward to battling Diantha in the semi-finals. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Leon watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In [[JN122]], Leon battled Diantha in the semi-finals. He was able to defeat her entire team while only losing two of his own and advanced to the finals as a result. Afterwards, Leon and Diantha watched Ash's battle against {{an|Cynthia}}. During the battle he was quite impressed with Ash's performance and how he handled himself against his opponent. After the battle, Leon admitted to Diantha that he was looking forward to battling Ash in the finals.

In [[JN127]], Leon called Ash and Goh to [[Wyndon Stadium]], where he revealed that he, Professor Magnolia, and Sonia had been working with Eternatus for it to become comfortable around people ever since the Darkest Day incident. Seeing this, Goh decided to entrust Eternatus to Leon.

===Character===
[[File:Leon Charizard pose anime.png|thumb|250px|Leon doing his signature Charizard pose]]
Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Although Leon comes across as unstoppable, he revealed to {{Ash}} that since [[Darkest Day]] he felt powerless to deal with the threat. This made him question if there are people stronger than him and how far the strength limit of each one goes. [[Sonia]] is apparently the only person who can see this side of Leon, unlike most people, to her, Leon is more child-like in his relationship with Pokémon.

Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with [[Raihan]] and {{EF|Flint}}. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow [[Chairman Rose]]'s orders to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the [[Darkest Day]] from occurring.
[[File:Leon and Ash.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Ash]]
Leon is remarkably knowledgeable about the [[Gigantamax]]ing phenomenon, as seen in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', when he advised {{Ash}} on how to battle with his Gigantamax {{AP|Pikachu}} in order to deal with a {{p|Drednaw}} that also had Gigantamax. During Ash's battle against [[Opal]], he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of {{m|G-Max Finale}}. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how [[Mega Evolution]] works, being able to recognize the great bond {{AP|Lucario}} has with Ash.

As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon. During the course of the anime it is shown that Leon takes a keen interest in Ash's battles and more than once, Leon declared to Ash his desire to face him in an official battle. This even made Rose offer the same offer he made to Leon to be trained by him, but Ash refused even before knowing Rose's real intentions. As in the games, Leon is idealized by his younger brother [[Hop]], who yearns to defeat him in battle. Hop also reveals that Leon often talks to him about Ash's progression in the World Coronation Series.

In his battles, Leon tends to change the moves that his Pokémon uses, as first seen in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', where {{p|Charizard}} used three different moves than what it had used previously and always battles on equal terms with the opponent, always Gigantamaxing his Pokémon only after the opponent has the initiative to use it first. In his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] campaign, however, Leon took a different approach, for example [[Gigantamax]]ing his other Pokémon other than Charizard, using more direct attacks and focusing on covering the deficiencies his Pokémon have in speed and other attributes.

Like [[Leon|his game counterpart]], Leon has a difficult time with directions, resulting in him becoming lost in the [[Glimwood Tangle]] and needing [[wild Pokémon]] to show him the way to [[Ballonlea]] and [[JN100|later]] getting lost while traveling with Ash through the [[Wild Area]].

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Leon's known Pokémon in the anime:

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon called on Charizard to battle {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}. It was able to battle the Legendary Pokémon for some time, although Eternatus was able to prevent it from Gigantamaxing. After Leon's failed attempt at catching Eternatus, Charizard was injured in the blast caused by it transforming into its {{form|Eternatus|Eternamax}} form, forcing Leon to recall it.

In [[JN115]], Charizard was the second Pokémon Leon used during his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against [[Alain]]. It easily defeated his {{p|Malamar}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, making Leon the winner of the battle.

In [[JN122]], Charizard was one of the three Pokémon Leon used in his Masters Eight Tournament match against [[Diantha]]. Despite [[Diantha's Gardevoir]] having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], Charizard was able to defeat it and win the battle for Leon.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Dragapult was used in Leon's training. Sometime later, Leon used Dragapult to confront a pair of {{p|Corviknight}} that attacked him and {{Ash}}.

In [[JN122]], Dragapult was one of the three Pokémon Leon used in his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against [[Diantha]]. It was shown battling her {{p|Hawlucha}} and {{p|Tyrantrum}} before being defeated by the latter.

'''Leon's Eternatus''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのムゲンダイナ''' ''Dande's Mugendina'') is the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Galar]] [[region]], and his sixty-eighth overall. He officially gave it to {{an|Leon}} in [[JN127]], after discovering that Leon was taming it to be comfortable around people. In the past, it was known as the '''Darkest Day''' (Japanese: '''ブラックナイト''' ''Black Night'').

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Darkest Day anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Eternatus starting the Darkest Day]]
Ancient people feared Eternatus and it came to be known as the [[Darkest Day]]. It was later given its proper name by [[Rose]] as an indication of the infinite amounts of [[Galar]] particles it could produce.

Eternatus first appeared in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where it flew past a plane that {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] were riding to Galar.

In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Eternatus was revealed to have been captured by [[Macro Cosmos]] and placed inside the [[Energy Plant]] core. Rose planned to strengthen it with Galar particles so it could serve as a source of infinite energy for the Galar region. In order to complete his agenda, Rose sponsored {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and specifically groomed {{an|Leon}} to become a modern-day hero figure who would ultimately subdue and catch Eternatus to ensure it could be kept as a power source. After a number of experiments in which Galar particles were injected into the reactor, Eternatus escaped from its containment field within [[Hammerlocke Stadium]].
[[File:Leon and Eternatus.png|thumb|250px|left|Eternatus and Leon]]
Above the stadium, Eternatus began gathering massive amounts of energy from across the region, causing many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] and go on a rampage. Leon [[JN045|later]] tried to capture it with the help of his {{p|Charizard}} to seal away the Gigantic Pokémon but failed, and it subsequently turned into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} form. With the help of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, Ash and Goh defeated Eternatus, after which they threw one of Goh's {{i|Poké Ball}}s at it together, catching it. After it was captured, the Dynamaxed and Gigantamaxed Pokémon returned to normal. Eternatus's Poké Ball was subsequently sealed away in a safe by [[Professor Magnolia]].

Eternamax Eternatus reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', where Leon revealed that being powerless against it helped motivate him to grow stronger.

In [[JN127]], it was revealed that Eternatus had been unsealed by [[Professor Magnolia]]. Alongside Leon, the two worked to get Eternatus used to being around people. After reuniting with its Trainer, Goh agreed that was for the best and left it under Leon's care.

===Personality and characteristics===
Eternatus was feared by people, giving it the name of the [[Darkest Day]]. It is very powerful, easily defeating [[Galar]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}} and was only defeated by strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. It is able to create and control Galar particles, which allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]]. Through this, it can force or prevent a Pokémon from Dynamaxing.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 23:28, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

== Blurbs ==

Please do not alter the blurb to fix any spelling or grammar errors, they are meant to be presented as they are on the official Pokemon site. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 17:08, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

== VA sources ==

IMDB (an to an extent, BehindtheVoiceACtors) are not reliable source as those sites can be edited by anyone. The only valid confirmation is via the voice actors themselves (via any social media platform) or the voice director. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

== Deleting comments ==

Please do not remove talk page comments, per the {{bp|Talk page policy}}, that includes the welcome template. And you removing the warnings on your talk page implies that you are unwilling to listen nor take the warnings seriously. If you continue to remove these warnings, you may receive a block. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:26, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I originally had thought that I had control over what was shown on my account's talk page. It was a mistake, albeit a stupid one. {{unsigned|Swift4Sweeper}}

== Synopsis expansions ==

I appreciate your help in expanding and improving the episode synopsis I've written. I'd like to note, though, that not every detail from the episode needs to be in a synopsis, so if something is missing from a synopsis, chances are I've omitted it on purpose. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, apologies about that. I'm a very detail conscientious person, and I sometimes (mistakenly) believe that others would appreciate the level of detail that I put into my academic writings in non-academic settings. I appreciate the constructive criticism! {{unsigned|Swift4Sweeper}}

== Signing ==
Please remember to always sign your comments. You can sign your comments with 4 tildes (~) or clicking the signature stamp ([[File:Signature button.png]]) on the top of the edit box. It should also be noted that once your comment has been marked as unsigned, you cannot replace it with your signature as it will give off the wrong time stamp. Thank you for taking your time to read this message, have a good day. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 02:43, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

== Adding anime moves ==

Generally, moves should be not be identified based on animation alone unless it is one of the moves listed [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:List_of_moves_with_unique_animations here]. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 15:08, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

First thing, your post has a typo. I'm not going to fix that since it's your error. Getting that out of the way, 99% of the time I would absolutely agree with your statement. I had that exact line of thought in mind when deciding whether or not to make that edit. However, if an attack carries the IDENTICAL animation as a previous episode (in this case JN113 and JN071 for Hyper Beam), that move at least should probably remain. Passive aggression aside, next time I'll think things through a fifth time before making that type of edit. Thank you. [[User:Swift4Sweeper|Swift4Sweeper]] ([[User talk:Swift4Sweeper|talk]]) 17:04, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
:"First thing, your post has a typo. I'm not going to fix that since it's your error."
:I missed the typo and that's my bad. However, the "I'm not going to fix your error" comment was completely unnecessary. I'm simply pointing out the move policy and happened to type a second "be" by mistake; it doesn't diminish the point of my comment. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 19:12, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
I more so meant that because it was a typo to begin with, I didn't want to fix it and receive a comment saying that you can't edit a comment left on your page by another person. I assure you that your point certainly wasn't diminished. [[User:Swift4Sweeper|Swift4Sweeper]] ([[User talk:Swift4Sweeper|talk]]) 01:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
:Ah, I see now. Sorry for the misunderstanding. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 23:58, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
::I'm glad that the misunderstanding was absolved. Have a nice day! [[User:Swift4Sweeper|Swift4Sweeper]] ([[User talk:Swift4Sweeper|talk]]) 14:14, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

== Multiple consecutive edits ==

If you are a staff member coming to my page to tell me about the policy of not making multiple edits in a row on the same page after I had to make 3 edits to the Missions/Requests page for Legends Arceus, this message is for you. I know the policy, don't worry. I pray just as much as you that it won't happen again - I just wanted to make sure it all was done right and that my errors were corrected sooner rather than later. If I hadn't made the mistakes the first two times around, it wouldn't have happened at all. But don't worry, I know the policy. We should be all clear with that (thankfully, for both our sakes). :) [[User:Swift4Sweeper|Swift4Sweeper]] ([[User talk:Swift4Sweeper|talk]]) 02:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Task (Legends: Arceus)

2022-09-30T02:36:12Z

Swift4Sweeper: /* Requests */ I know, I know, another edit right in a row. I fully know the policy, but it was needed (otherwise I wouldn't have done it, plus the fix was small). 118-122 were missing item artwork for rewards. My bad. Apologies.

{{search|quest system in Pokémon Legends: Arceus|other task systems in Pokémon games|Research Task}}
{{incomplete|needs=Rewards, locations, and requirements, as well as the new requests in the Daybreak update}}
'''Tasks''' (Japanese: '''任務''' ''task'') are quests in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. There are two distinct types of tasks in the game: '''missions''' (Japanese: '''メイン''' ''main''), which are main quests required to progress the story; and '''requests''' (Japanese: '''サブ''' ''sub''), which are sidequests.

Each task has a number of objectives. When the player completes the listed objectives, either they will receive new objectives or the task will be marked as complete.

"Guidance" (Japanese: ガイド ''guide'') allows tracking one of the player's current tasks. If they do not enable guidance for any task manually, it is automatically enabled for their current mission. Guidance creates an icon in the overworld that marks where the player needs to go to progress their current mission, with a number underneath indicating their distance from that point.

The Tasks' main purpose is to help the player advance the story and further complete the Hisui Pokédex. The Tasks are also a way of unlocking new features such as massive mass outbreaks, Path of Solitude, and Path of Tenacity that were added in the Daybreak update.

==Missions==
Missions are the main quests in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

==Requests==
Requests are sidequests in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Requests are not required to progress the game's story. However, the final mission, Mission 27: "The Deified Pokémon", requires obtaining every Pokémon (other than [[Mythical Pokémon]]) in the Hisui Pokédex; some Pokémon are only available through completing requests, meaning that three requests (Request 22: "Eerie Apparitions in the Night", Request 91: "On the Trail of Giratina", and Request 94: "Incarnate Forces of Hisui") must be undertaken to complete the final mission without [[trade|trading]].

Task (Legends: Arceus)

{{incomplete|needs=Rewards, locations, and requirements, as well as the new requests in the Daybreak update}}
'''Tasks''' (Japanese: '''任務''' ''task'') are quests in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. There are two distinct types of tasks in the game: '''missions''' (Japanese: '''メイン''' ''main''), which are main quests required to progress the story; and '''requests''' (Japanese: '''サブ''' ''sub''), which are sidequests.

Each task has a number of objectives. When the player completes the listed objectives, either they will receive new objectives or the task will be marked as complete.

"Guidance" (Japanese: ガイド ''guide'') allows tracking one of the player's current tasks. If they do not enable guidance for any task manually, it is automatically enabled for their current mission. Guidance creates an icon in the overworld that marks where the player needs to go to progress their current mission, with a number underneath indicating their distance from that point.

The Tasks' main purpose is to help the player advance the story and further complete the Hisui Pokédex. The Tasks are also a way of unlocking new features such as massive mass outbreaks, Path of Solitude, and Path of Tenacity that were added in the Daybreak update.

==Missions==
Missions are the main quests in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

==Requests==
Requests are sidequests in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Requests are not required to progress the game's story. However, the final mission, Mission 27: "The Deified Pokémon", requires obtaining every Pokémon (other than [[Mythical Pokémon]]) in the Hisui Pokédex; some Pokémon are only available through completing requests, meaning that three requests (Request 22: "Eerie Apparitions in the Night", Request 91: "On the Trail of Giratina", and Request 94: "Incarnate Forces of Hisui") must be undertaken to complete the final mission without [[trade|trading]].

'''Tasks''' (Japanese: '''任務''' ''task'') are quests in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. There are two distinct types of tasks in the game: '''missions''' (Japanese: '''メイン''' ''main''), which are main quests required to progress the story; and '''requests''' (Japanese: '''サブ''' ''sub''), which are sidequests.

Each task has a number of objectives. When the player completes the listed objectives, either they will receive new objectives or the task will be marked as complete.

"Guidance" (Japanese: ガイド ''guide'') allows tracking one of the player's current tasks. If they do not enable guidance for any task manually, it is automatically enabled for their current mission. Guidance creates an icon in the overworld that marks where the player needs to go to progress their current mission, with a number underneath indicating their distance from that point.

The Tasks' main purpose is to help the player advance the story and further complete the Hisui Pokédex. The Tasks are also a way of unlocking new features such as massive mass outbreaks, Path of Solitude, and Path of Tenacity that were added in the Daybreak update.

==Missions==
Missions are the main quests in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

==Requests==
Requests are sidequests in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Requests are not required to progress the game's story. However, the final mission, Mission 27: "The Deified Pokémon", requires obtaining every Pokémon (other than [[Mythical Pokémon]]) in the Hisui Pokédex; some Pokémon are only available through completing requests, meaning that three requests (Request 22: "Eerie Apparitions in the Night", Request 91: "On the Trail of Giratina", and Request 94: "Incarnate Forces of Hisui") must be undertaken to complete the final mission without [[trade|trading]].

==Plot==
The second [[World Coronation Series|Pokémon World Coronation Series]] [[Masters Tournament]] semifinals {{pkmn|battle}} between {{Ash}} and {{an|Cynthia}} continues. Faced with the surprise turn of Cynthia [[Dynamax]]ing {{p|Togekiss}} rather than [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, Ash uses his [[Key Stone]] to Mega Evolve Lucario. Lucario attacks with {{m|Aura Sphere}} while Togekiss counters with {{m|Max Airstream}}. Lucario leaps into the cyclone to continue its attack, but the fierce winds blast it out, while Togekiss smothers the Aura Sphere with its body. Furthermore, Max Airstream's effect increases Togekiss's {{stat|speed}}. Refusing to give in, Ash calls for {{m|Bullet Punch}}, while Cynthia counters with Max Airstream once more. This time, however, Lucario leaps over the cyclone and begins pummeling Togekiss, dealing {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} [[damage]]. The onslaught causes Togekiss to crash into the ground, but, to everyone's shock, it manages to get back up, its speed increasing once again. Cynthia orders a third Max Airstream, which meets Aura Sphere as it charges up. Ash and Lucario draw their aura together to fight back, while all the way in [[Kalos]], {{AP|Greninja}} feels the surge of power occur as "G-Max Aura Sphere" pushes forward and finally breaks through to score a direct hit on the {{pkmn|category|Jubilee Pokémon}}, much to Cynthia's shock and awe. Togekiss reverts to its normal size and collapses to the ground, but soon gets up once more, its speed bolstered a third time. Cynthia expresses her excitement over the battle and continues, Togekiss flying around at high speeds and avoiding Lucario's Bullet Punch attempts. When Cynthia calls for {{m|Sky Attack}}, Ash counters with {{m|Double Team}} to avoid the attack, but Togekiss destroys the copies before it can be struck by Aura Sphere. However, it fails to overpower Bullet Punch and is repelled, finally being declared [[Fainting|unable to battle]]. Cynthia [[recall]]s and thanks Togekiss, while Ash praises Lucario.

With only one Pokémon left for both participants, Cynthia calls upon Garchomp one final time, marking the start of the battle's climax. Backstage, [[Diantha]] and {{an|Leon}} compare the damage both Pokémon have received in their respective battles, believing the battle is a toss-up. Seeing Ash and Lucario's powerful connection, Cynthia and Garchomp think back to their past travels together over their many years: from playing together as children, to [[fishing]] up a {{p|Feebas}}, Garchomp's evolutionary road from {{p|Gible}}, viewing the mural at [[Amity Square]], and their countless battles as partners on their shared road to the present. Cynthia declares they will be the ones to battle Leon and calls for {{m|Scale Shot}}. Lucario counters with Bullet Punch and then launches an Aura Sphere, resulting in a large explosion that damages both Pokémon. Cynthia's excitement peaks as she exclaims how she has longed for a battle this intense. Lucario and Garchomp begin trading blows with Bullet Punch and {{m|Dragon Claw}}, turning the battle into an all-out slugfest as the two try desperately to knock the other out. Eventually the flurry of blows stops and both Pokémon back off, clearly running low on energy. When Lucario drops to one knee, Cynthia takes her chance and orders Dragon Claw once more, but Lucario musters the last of his strength to counter with {{m|Reversal}}. Both attacks score devastating blows and both Pokémon simultaneously hit the dirt, seemingly unable to continue. After several agonizing moments of deafening silence, Lucario slowly rises to its feet, while Garchomp remains motionless on the ground. [[Gym guide|Dan]] declares Garchomp unable to battle and Ash the winner of the match, allowing Ash to advance to the finals.

Ash stands stupefied as cheers shower down on him, unable to quite believe he actually managed to defeat Cynthia. It is not until he sees {{AP|Pikachu}} jumping for joy does he fully realize his victory. Bursting with excitement, he rushes forth and hugs Lucario. In the stands, [[Goh]] and [[Hop]] cheer for Ash's victory, as do {{TRT}}, who are overcome with emotion that their [[twerp]] has toppled [[Sinnoh]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}}. In [[Pallet Town]], {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak's lab]] rejoice, while {{an|Professor Oak}} fights off tears. Meanwhile, Leon is fired up and can't hold down his excitement over facing Ash in the finals. Garchomp accepts Lucario's paw and rises to her feet, while Cynthia congratulates Ash on his triumph. She praises his unparalleled connection with all of his Pokémon, admitting that she still has much to learn, and adds that she hopes to battle him again in the future. Meanwhile, the announcer reveals that the matchup of Ash versus Leon in the finals will be another six-on-six [[Full Battle]] to decide who gets the title of Monarch.

Cynthia reconvenes with Diantha in the tunnel and apologizes for losing. Cynthia admits that battling provides her with a thrill that can't be surpassed, choosing to continue on with her career as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], rather than retiring like she [[JN123|previously planned]], while still moving forward with her fields of research, much to Diantha's happiness. Outside, Ash summons his [[Party|team]] to thank them for their victory. However, he adds that now that they have reached the finals and their goal of battling Leon, they can't back down and will emerge victorious. As the team cheers, they begin preparing to face their strongest opponent ever.

==Plot==
The second [[Masters Tournament]] semifinal {{pkmn|battle}} of the [[World Coronation Series]] between [[Ash]] and {{an|Cynthia}} continues, with the former having just {{AP|Lucario}} left to face Cynthia's Togekiss and {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Faced with the surprise turn of Cynthia [[Dynamax|Dynamaxing]] Togekiss rather than [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Garchomp, Ash uses his [[Key Stone]] to Mega Evolve Lucario. Lucario attacks with {{m|Aura Sphere}} while Togekiss counters with {{m|Max Airstream}}. Lucario leaps into the cyclone to continue its attack, but the fierce winds blast it out, while Togekiss smothers the Aura Sphere with its body. Furthermore, Max Airstream's effect increases Togekiss's {{stat|Speed}}. Refusing to give in, Ash calls for {{m|Bullet Punch}} while Cynthia counters with Max Airstream once more. This time, however, Lucario leaps ''over'' the cyclone and begins pummeling Togekiss, dealing super effective [[damage]]. The onslaught causes Togekiss to crash into the ground, but to everyone's shock it manages to get back up, its speed increasing once again. Cynthia orders a third Max Airstream, which meets Aura Sphere as it charges up. Though Lucario resists the attack, it is clearly taking lots of damage. However, Ash and Lucario draw their aura together to fight back, while all the way in [[Kalos]], {{AP|Greninja}} feels the surge of power occur as "G-Max Aura Sphere" pushes forward and finally breaks through to score a direct hit on the {{pkmn|category|Jubilee Pokémon}}, much to Cynthia's shock and awe.

==Plot==
The second [[Masters Tournament]] semifinal {{pkmn|battle}} of the [[World Coronation Series]] between [[Ash]] and {{an|Cynthia}} continues, with the former having just {{AP|Lucario}} left to face Cynthia's Togekiss and {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Faced with the surprise turn of Cynthia [[Dynamax|Dynamaxing]] Togekiss rather than [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Garchomp, Ash uses his [[Key Stone]] to Mega Evolve Lucario. Lucario attacks with {{m|Aura Sphere}} while Togekiss counters with {{m|Max Airstream}}.

Furthermore, Max Airstream's effect increases Togekiss's {{stat|Speed}}. Refusing to give in, Ash calls for {{m|Bullet Punch}} while Cynthia counters with Max Airstream once more. This time, however, Lucario leaps ''over'' the cyclone and begins pummeling Togekiss, dealing super effective [[damage]].

Cynthia orders a third Max Airstream, which meets Aura Sphere as it charges up. Though Lucario resists the attack, it is clearly taking lots of damage. However, Ash and Lucario draw their aura together to fight back, while all the way in [[Kalos]], {{AP|Greninja}} feels the surge of power occur as "G-Max Aura Sphere" pushes forward and finally breaks through to score a direct hit on the {{pkmn|category|Jubilee Pokémon}}, much to Cynthia's shock and awe. Togekiss reverts to its normal size and collapses to the ground, but it amazingly gets up once more, its speed bolstered a third time. Cynthia expresses her excitement over the battle and continues, Togekiss flying around at high speeds and avoiding Lucario's Bullet Punch attempts. When Cynthia calls for {{m|Sky Attack}}, Ash counters with {{m|Double Team}} to avoid the attack, but Togekiss destroys the copies before it can be struck by Aura Sphere. However, it fails to overpower Bullet Punch and is repelled, finally being declared unable to battle. Cynthia [[recall|recalls]] and thanks Togekiss, while Ash praises Lucario.

With only one Pokémon left for both participants, Cynthia calls upon Garchomp one final time, marking the start of the battle's climax. Backstage, [[Diantha]] and {{an|Leon}} compare the damage both Pokémon have received in their respective battles, believing the battle is a toss-up. Seeing Ash and Lucario's powerful connection, Cynthia and Garchomp think back to their past travels together over their many years: from playing together as children, to [[fishing]] up a {{p|Feebas}}, Garchomp's evolutionary road from {{p|Gible}}, viewing the mural at [[Amity Square]], and their countless battles as partners on their shared road to the present. Cynthia declares they will advance to battle Leon and shouts for {{m|Scale Shot}}. Lucario counters with Bullet Punch and then launches an Aura Sphere, resulting in a large explosion that damages both Pokémon. Cynthia's excitement peaks as she declares how she has longed for a battle this intense. Lucario and Garchomp begin trading blows with Bullet Punch and {{m|Dragon Claw}}, turning the battle into an all-out slugfest. Both Pokémon are repelled and clearly running on empty. When Lucario drops to one knee, Cynthia takes her chance and orders Dragon Claw once more, but Lucario musters the strength to counter with {{m|Reversal}}. Both attacks score devastating blows and the two Pokémon hit the dirt, seemingly unable to continue. After several agonizing moments of silence, Lucario slowly rises to its feet, while Garchomp is ruled unable to battle and Ash the winner of the match.

Ash stands stupefied as cheers shower down on him. Only after {{AP|Pikachu}} begins jumping for joy does he realize his victory, rushing forth and hugging Lucario. In the stands, [[Goh]] and [[Hop]] cheer for Ash's victory, as do {{TRT}}, who are overcome with emotion that their "twerp" toppled Sinnoh's Champion. In [[Pallet Town]], {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|Ash's Pokémon}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak's lab]] rejoice, while {{an|Professor Oak}} fights off tears. Meanwhile, Leon is fired up and can't hold down his excitement over facing Ash in the finals. Cynthia thanks Garchomp for her efforts. The {{pkmn|category|Mach Pokémon}} accepts Lucario's paw and rises to her feet, while Cynthia congratulates Ash over his triumph. She praises his unparalleled connection with all of his Pokémon, admitting that she still has much to learn, and adds that she hopes to battle him again in the future. Meanwhile, the announcer reveals that the matchup of Ash versus Leon in the finals will be another six-on-six [[Full Battle]] to decide the title of Monarch.

Diantha and Cynthia reconverge, the latter apologizing for failing to win. Cynthia admits that battling provides her with a thrill that can't be surpassed, choosing to continue on with her career as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], rather than retiring like she [[JN123|previously planned]], while still moving forward with her fields of research, much to Diantha's happiness.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
As a new day begins in the [[Galar]] [[region]], {{Ash}} and {{AP|Lucario}} arrive at the city of [[Hammerlocke]], eagerly waiting for their [[World Coronation Series]] Promotion Match. Arriving in front of the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], Ash is greeted by his opponent and the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Raihan]]. They both express their determination to win, only to be interrupted when they notice none other than {{an|Leon}} waking up from behind a nearby bush, having come early so he wouldn't miss the match. He encourages both Ash and Raihan to give it their all in the upcoming battle.

Inside the Stadium, the stands are filled with lots of people eager to witness the last Promotion Match of the season, with [[Goh]], accompanied by {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} and {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}, sitting amongst them. Ash and Raihan enter the battlefield and are introduced to the audience, with Raihan receiving plenty of cheering from the people of his hometown. [[Battle judge|Referee]] [[Gym guide|Dan]] explains that the match will follow the [[Masters Tournament]] rules, with both sides using three Pokémon each and being allowed to switch them at any time as many times as they want. In addition, either side may only use one of either [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, or [[Dynamax]] per battle, with Goh predicting that Ash is going to use Mega Evolution with his Lucario. At Dan's signal, both sides send out their first Pokémon. Ash's choice is {{AP|Dragonite}}, while Raihan goes with {{p|Flygon}}, making the first round a clash between {{t|Dragon}} types.

Raihan makes the first moves by ordering a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, while Dragonite uses the time to set up a {{m|Dragon Dance}}, increasing its {{stat|Attack}} power and {{stat|Speed}}. Using its increased Speed, Dragonite evades Flygon's subsequent {{m|Steel Wing}}s with ease. Raihan admits that Ash has {{pkmn|training|trained}} his Dragonite well, but also reminds him that he's a Dragon-type [[Type expert|expert]], and orders a {{m|Sandstorm}}, which envelops the entire field. With its vision blinded by the {{weather|sandstorm}}, Dragonite is struck by a Dragon Claw and a flurry of Steel Wings from Flygon as the {{pkmn|category|Mystic Pokémon}} hides itself in the swirling sand, which is also slowly dealing [[damage]] to Dragonite over time. Ash decides on a new strategy and orders Dragonite to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which sends meteors raining all over the battlefield. One of them manages to hit Flygon, giving away its location and allowing Dragonite to attack it with {{m|Hurricane}} and Dragon Claw before it hides in the sandstorm again. Ash prepares to repeat his Draco Meteor strategy, but Raihan declares he won't fall for the same trick twice and has Flygon strike Dragonite with Steel Wing before the Draco Meteor can go off, taking Ash's Pokémon out of the fight.

After [[recall]]ing Dragonite, Ash chooses {{AP|Gengar}} as his second Pokémon. While Gengar manages to evade Flygon's Steel Wing, its {{m|Ice Punch}} fails to land, leaving Gengar just as vulnerable against Flygon's hit-and-run strategy as Dragonite had been. Following a series of Dragon Claws, Gengar is struck by a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} {{m|Crunch}}, dealing heavy damage to it. Goh is getting worried, since losing Gengar now would leave Ash with just one Pokémon against Raihan's three, putting him in a severe disadvantage. As Gengar wearily stands back up, Raihan asks Ash why he wants to battle Leon, because to him, the desire to challenge Leon needs to be supported by a desire to defeat him, a desire that he has in spades. Ash, however, declares that he too wants to defeat Leon, and refuses to lose here in order to realize that goal.

Seeing that Gengar is getting tired, Ash changes his initial plans, apologizing to Lucario for not being able to Mega Evolve it now as he slips on his [[Dynamax Band]] and [[Gigantamax]]es Gengar. Using Gigantamax Gengar's giant mouth, Ash has it suck away the sandstorm, leaving Flygon exposed and wide open for {{m|G-Max Terror}}, which scores a direct hit. Raihan attempts a counterattack with Crunch, but Flygon is stopped on its tracks by {{m|Max Starfall}}, defeating it and evening the odds.

Raihan selects {{p|Goodra}} to be his second Pokémon and has it use {{m|Rain Dance}}, further demonstrating his [[weather]]-based strategies. Utilizing the [[rain]] to its advantage, Goodra launches a rapid-fire offensive with {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, all of which deal devastating blows. Ash considers recalling Gengar, but as he sees its willingness to keep going, Ash decides to keep it out. Goodra attempts another Surf, but this time, Gengar is able to deflect it with its tongue. Gengar attacks with Max Starfall, while Goodra uses Hydro Pump, both [[move]]s hitting their targets. Gengar reverts to its normal size as both Pokémon collapse, resulting in a double knockout and leaving both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with one Pokémon each.

Both sides recall their Pokémon and send out their last fighters, Lucario and {{p|Duraludon}}. While Ash has already used his once-in-a-battle power-up, Raihan still has his Dynamax to use, and he puts it to use by immediately Gigantamaxing Duraludon. Lucario uses {{m|Double Team}} to confuse Duraludon, before using {{m|Aura Sphere}}, which, however, doesn't faze the Gigantamax Pokémon at all. After a second Aura Sphere provides equally lackluster results, Raihan starts his counteroffensive with {{m|Max Steelspike}}, which Lucario is unable to completely avoid. Raihan then has Duraludon unleash its strongest attack; {{m|G-Max Depletion}}, which envelops Lucario in a swirling tornado of energy. To Raihan's surprise, however, Ash is perfectly calm about this situation, as is Lucario, who is standing still inside the vortex and charging up an Aura Sphere.

Ash and Lucario's [[Aura]]s are in perfect sync as Lucario raises the growing Aura Sphere over its head, causing the [[G-Max Move]] to dissipate around it. Goh realizes that this Aura Sphere is similar to what Lucario did after its [[JN108|training]] with {{AP|Greninja}}, except that it's even bigger. Drawing power from the Aura of its teammates, Goh and his partners, and even Greninja all the way back in [[Kalos]], Lucario's Aura Sphere grows to a gigantic size, and Ash dubs it "G-Max Aura Sphere". Duraludon attempts a counterattack with {{m|Max Rockfall}}, but Lucario's attack easily powers through it and strikes the Gigantamax Pokémon head-on, causing it to topple and revert to normal size. Dan judges Duraludon unable to battle, meaning that Ash has won the Promotion Match. Ecstatic, Ash runs over to Lucario and congratulates it on a well-fought battle. Raihan approaches Ash and admits that he lost. After taking a {{wp|selfie}} with Ash, Raihan swears to defeat both him and Leon someday, and tells him not to lose until then.

With the season's final Promotion Match completed, the eight Trainers advancing to the Masters Tournament have been decided. In addition to Ash, who is now ranked eighth, said Trainers include [[Unova]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Iris}}; [[Lumiose Conference]] winner [[Alain]]; Kalos Champion [[Diantha]]; the combined Champion of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], {{an|Lance}}; [[Hoenn]] Champion {{an|Steven Stone}}; [[Sinnoh]] Champion {{an|Cynthia}}; and Leon, the undefeated Monarch and Galar Champion.

(Japanese: '''セミファイナルⅢ　「武勇」''' ''The Semifinals III: "Valor"'') is the 124th episode of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and the 1,209th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on September 9, 2022.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
With {{AP|Pikachu}} eliminated following his double-knockout against {{p|Spiritomb}} and his ability to use {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} removed, [[Ash]] holds a hefty disadvantage against {{an|Cynthia}} in their [[Masters Tournament]] semifinal {{pkmn|battle}}. Ash carries Pikachu off of the battlefield and thanks him for battling so hard against the [[Sinnoh]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. As Ash takes a moment to breathe and calm his nerves, [[Goh]] and [[Hop]] also note the disadvantage Ash has in numbers: three Pokémon remaining against Cynthia's four. Running down to the bottom of the stands, {{TRT}} admonish Ash for putting on a poorer performance than [[JN118|first round match]]. Backstage, [[Diantha]] and {{an|Leon}} note that though Cynthia holds the lead, the battle is still up for grabs.

Ash calls out {{AP|Dracovish}} for his fourth Pokémon, and Cynthia sends out her fifth Pokémon and undisputed ace, {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, causing Ash to wonder if she will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Dracovish goes in for an {{m|Ice Fang}}, but Garchomp dodges and lands a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, dealing super effective [[damage]] on Dracovish. While Dracovish is reeling from the damage, Cynthia calls for {{m|Stealth Rock}}, which spreads throughout the battlefield and turns invisible. Cynthia performs another [[recall|substitution]], bringing in {{p|Roserade}}, with Ash noticing that its {{status|burn}} from {{AP|Gengar}}'s [[JN123|earlier]] {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} is gone. Cynthia explains that this is due to Roserade's [[Ability]], {{a|Natural Cure}}: being returned to its [[Poké Ball]] cleanses it of any status conditions, leading Ash to understand why she recalled Roserade before. Despite this, Dracovish is able to power through Roserade's {{m|Poison Jab}} and get off a {{m|Fishious Rend}}, resulting in damage to both sides, though Dracovish ends up getting {{status|poison}}ed. However, it manages to persevere and continue on, with {{MTR}} stating that this due to Dracovish's unquenchable desire to defeat Roserade. Cynthia orders a {{m|Leaf Storm}}, but Dracovish charges straight through with {{m|Dragon Rush}} and score a direct hit, which is enough to knock Roserade out and even the score.

Ash wants to recall Dracovish at this point due to the damage it is taking from poison, but it insists on staying in the battle, so Ash acquiesces. Cynthia silently marvels at Ash's innate ability to understand his Pokémon's desires, but believes she still has a chance to throw him off and win. Cynthia then sends out her sixth Pokémon, {{p|Milotic}}, who the announcer describes as instrumental in Cynthia's [[JN117|victory]] over {{an|Iris}}. Dracovish charges toward with Dragon Rush, however, Milotic uses {{m|Disarming Voice}} to keep Dracovish at bay, before employing the same tactic it used against [[Iris's Dragonite]] and coiling around Dracovish to use a close-range {{m|Iron Head}}. Dracovish, however, strikes back with Fishious Rend, and the attacks collide to create a big explosion. Although Milotic has taken visible damage, Dracovish ends up going down and giving the Cynthia the lead once more. Despite its defeat, Diantha and Leon believe that Dracovish's final attack will make a huge difference in this next battle.

Ash recalls Dracovish and sends out {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}, who immediately takes damage from Garchomp's Stealth Rock, but shrugs it off and readies itself. Ash suddenly gets an idea and has Sirfetch'd use {{m|Brutal Swing}} to throw its shield, much like in [[JN086|their battle]] against [[Bea]]. One by one, Brutal Swing eliminates the Stealth Rock, greatly impressing all the spectators. Milotic attacks with a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but Sirfetch'd dodges and blocks a follow-up Iron Head, before getting off a flurry of {{m|Fury Cutter}}s. Milotic's next attack is Disarming Voice, but Sirfetch'd manages to endure it and blitzes Milotic with {{m|Meteor Assault}}, taking it down.

Cynthia recalls Milotic and commends Ash on his cleverness at getting rid of the Stealth Rock, adding that their battle is making her heart race. However, she declares she will win nonetheless and face Leon. Ash corrects her and says ''he'' will face Leon. Cynthia sends Garchomp out once more, and Ash again predicts that she may Mega Evolve. Garchomp uses {{m|Scale Shot}}, but Sirfetch'd easily fights it off with Fury Cutter and clashes against Garchomp's {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Sirfetch'd ends up getting knocked back but is able to avert a second Dragon Claw by using {{m|Detect}}. Sirfetch'd then goes in for a Meteor Assault, and Garchomp uses {{m|Draco Meteor}} in response, both of which successfully land. Both Pokémon take a good amount of damage and enter a standoff, but Garchomp is able to remain conscious despite stumbling, while Sirfetch'd faints standing up.

Ash recalls Sirfetch'd as Cynthia calls Garchomp back. Diantha and Leon now believe that Cynthia has something else in store, as she has now twice passed on the opportunity to use Mega Evolution. Ash sends out his sixth and final Pokémon, {{AP|Lucario}}, which results in {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} emerging from its Poké Ball to cheer on its friend. Noticing this development, Ash declares he and Lucario will carry Cinderace's feelings with them. Meanwhile, Cynthia sends {{p|Togekiss}} back out. Lucario starts off with {{m|Bullet Punch}}, and Togekiss tries to stop it in its track with {{m|Air Slash}}, but Lucario pushes through it and pummels Togekiss, dealing super effective damage. However, it is still standing, and Lucario charges an {{m|Aura Sphere}}. However, Togekiss beats it to the punch with another Air Slash, not only causing it a good amount of damage, but also making it [[flinch]] thanks to its Ability, {{a|Serene Grace}}, and Lucario's Aura Sphere is cancelled out as a result. Togekiss uses yet another Air Slash, but Ash has Lucario use Bullet Punch to neutralize the attack. After a brief moment of silence, Cynthia smiles and recalls Togekiss, generating whispers of yet another substitution. However, she surprises all of [[Wyndon Stadium]] by revealing a [[Dynamax Band]] and [[Dynamax|Dynamaxing]] it instead, confirming Leon and Diantha's earlier suspicions. Ash then readies his [[Key Stone]], and Lucario prepares to take on Dynamax Togekiss as the battle enters its climax.

'''Quillon''' (Japanese: '''ツルギ''' ''Tsurugi'') is a recurring character in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. He is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and researcher with [[Project Mew]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Quillon.png|thumb|left|250px|Quillon]]
Quillon first appeared in ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', when he helped save {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] after they were caught in a snowstorm after trying to battle an {{alo|Ninetales}}. Once the storm cleared, they set out to find the Ninetales once more and encountered it. Quillon watched as Goh attempted to catch it, only for a {{p|Regice}} to intervene. Once {{AP|Pikachu}} went down whilst battling Regice, Quillon sent out his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Single Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}} to battle the [[Pokémon category|Iceberg Pokémon]], knocking it back with a single {{m|Wicked Blow}}. Back at the Project Mew Headquarters, Quillon questioned Goh if he agreed to join the group, and Goh accepted.

In ''[[JN080|Trial on a Golden Scale!]]'', Quillon was seen monitoring the Alolan Ninetales and wishing to the Pokémon good luck in their new life. Later, when Goh and Ash were ambushed by a group of Pokémon Hunters led by [[Nito]], Quillon and [[Danika]] engaged them in battle, defeating their opponents with each using their own Urshifu.

In ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', Quillon was seen with Danika in a desert, confronting a {{p|Regirock}} as it emerged from the ruins before them.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Quillon, along with Danika, was seen evaluating the performance of [[Goh]], {{Gary}}, and [[Horace]]'s [[Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}}.

Quillon led an unseen Trial Mission in [[JN110]] that Gary took part in. At the end of the [[Sea Mauville]] battle royale, Quillon joined Danika in a video conference and informed the Project Mew Challengers of the results and warned everyone that the period for evaluation was about to end.

In [[JN113]], Quillon was seen catching {{p|Registeel}} at the {{gal|Iron Ruins}}. Using it, along with {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Regice}}, he unsealed the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] so that Goh and Gary could conduct their Trial Mission there.

[[File:Danika Quillon.png|250px|thumb|Quillon and Danika]]

===Character===
Quillon is a Top Chaser within [[Project Mew]], with the highest score of all group members. Quiet and reserved, he takes his research work seriously, which led Quillon to disqualify [[Goh]] at first and then change his stance when Goh was able to clear the proposed mission.

Quillon appears to have a huge disdain for Pokémon Hunters and the way they handle their Pokémon.

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. Cynthia is the current {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and has helped deal with several crises, particularly those involving [[Team Galactic]] and [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Cynthia is revealed to be one of the top eight [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]].

==In the anime==
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Cynthia.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Cynthia]]
During Cynthia's childhood, she received an egg from what would become her [[starter Pokémon]], a {{TP|Cynthia|Gible}} that she trained and became great partners with. This Gible would evolve into a {{p|Garchomp}} and become her main battle partner.

As revealed in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Cynthia used to focus only on getting stronger when she was younger, causing her to hurt Pokémon with her reckless behavior. That changed, however, when she discovered the legends of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Over time, she eventually became the Champion of the [[Sinnoh League]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Cynthia was first mentioned in [[Lucian]]'s flashback in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', along with the members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

She properly debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where she was first seen battling against Lucian with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} on television. She then arrived in person in [[Amity Square]], where she was studying ancient tablets. It was here that she met {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Paul]], who rushed down to Amity Square after they heard rumors of Cynthia being there. Paul challenged her to a [[Full Battle]], but Cynthia won easily. She then mentioned that she was just like Paul in her youth, determined to win with the strongest Pokémon. After the battle, because [[Nurse Joy]] was busy, she and {{an|Brock}} personally healed Paul's Pokémon, after convincing him to take them to a [[Pokémon Center]]. After this, back at the Amity Square Ruins, she explained that something written there means very much to her: "When every life meets another life, something will be born". Later, Ash would think about this quote from time to time. Cynthia then decided to go to [[Celestic Town]], where she planned to study the legend of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and the [[Lustrous Orb]].

Since that encounter, one of Ash and Paul's main goals in the anime has become to face and defeat Cynthia in a Pokémon battle, something shown several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]]''.

After [[Team Galactic]] steals the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', Cynthia is forced to return to Celestic Town, where she meets Ash, Dawn, and Brock again. During this meeting, Cynthia introduces them to her [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], a researcher into the legends of Sinnoh, and [[Cyrus]], an important executive in the Sinnoh region and find out about Ash and Dawn's [[DP078|previous]] [[DP001|encounters]] with {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Mesprit}}.
[[File:DP096.png|220px|thumb|left|Cynthia and her grandmother showing the [[Lustrous Orb]] to {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}]]
At Cyrus' suggestion, Cynthia and her grandmother take the two to see the Lustrous Orb, unaware that it was a Team Galactic plot to storm the Museum, during the invasion, Cynthia manages to easily defeat [[Saturn]] in a battle but this only served to buy the others members of Team Galactic time and finish invading the place.

Cynthia decides to use this time to ask Ash and Brock to tend to {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} who were violently injured in the battle, and soon goes in search of the Orb again, sending Garchomp out in search of their location. At the [[Pokémon Center]], Cynthia discovers that Ash's Chimchar is the same one used by Paul during their [[DP040|previous encounter]] and talks to the Chimp Pokémon about its future and the relationship it had with these two trainers and shortly afterwards Cynthia discuss about Team Galactic's real goals with Ash, Dawn and Brock.

Once {{TP|Ash|Staravia}} arrives with Team Rocket's location, Cynthia and the others head to the ruins of Celestic Town, where another confrontation between Team Galactic and Team Rocket begins. Despite their best efforts, Team Galactic manages to achieve their goals and manages to steal the [[Lustrous Orb]]. Later, when Cyrus says goodbye to the group, Cynthia begins to suspect his real intentions and the next day, when she is saying goodbye to Ash and his friends, Cynthia is informed that a [[Aaron (Elite Four)|challenger]] has asked for a battle against her for the title of Champion.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', Cynthia, along with Ash, his friends, her grandmother and [[Officer Jenny]]'s police officers, tried to stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the Lustrous Orb at Celestic Town. Using her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, Cynthia is able to defeat several of Team Galactic's Pokémon, but when {{TRT}} tries to steal the Lustrous Orb for themselves, the battle ends up being interrupted and [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} flee with the Orb.

Cynthia battled {{EF|Aaron}} to defend her title of Champion of the Sinnoh region on television in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', which she won. Ash and his friends commented that while Aaron was strong enough to be a member of the [[Elite Four]], Cynthia was still far stronger than him.

Cynthia briefly appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where she battled against [[Palmer]].

Cynthia joins Ash and his friends in the final stages of Team Galactic's plan in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', however, during their trip to [[Mt. Coronet]], Ash, Brock and Dawn are summoned by the lake's guardians.

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Cynthia frees Ash and the others who had been captured by Team Galactic during the confrontation, shortly thereafter Cynthia helped Ash and his friends protect the {{an|lake guardians}} and put a stop to Team Galactic's plans at [[Spear Pillar]]. After the defeat of Team Galactic's plans, Cynthia witnesses Ash, Dawn and Brock teaming up with Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie to save Sinnoh from the destruction caused by the by the [[Red Chain]]'s disruption in {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. At the end of the day, Cynthia thanks the three of them for what they've done and for saving the [[Sinnoh]] region from destruction.
[[File:Ash Vs Cynthia DP191.png|thumb|250px|Ash's dream of battling Cynthia]]
As of ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Cynthia observed the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] alongside [[Charles Goodshow]]. While watching, she showed a deep interest specifically in the battle between Ash and Paul in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' and after the [[DP188|result]] of the battle between the two, Cynthia remembers the moment she met them and says that she will wait for the moment when she will face Ash and Paul in a battle after they after growing up as Trainers. At the end of the competition in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', she personally delivered the trophy to the winner, {{si|Tobias}}.

In ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss!]]'', Ash and his friends watched her battle with Flint for the title of Champion. [[Flint's Infernape]] managed to defeat two of her Pokémon, but Garchomp ultimately defeated Flint's Infernape, earning Cynthia the victory. During the battle, Ash sees himself represented in the battle and imagines himself in the battle against Cynthia, further reinforcing his dreams of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]].

Cynthia made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', Cynthia met up with Ash again in [[Virbank City]] in [[Unova]] at an ice cream stand. She told Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} about the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where she would have an exhibition match. Ash and {{ashfr}} then decided to go with Cynthia and participate. On the way to the seaport to take a plane to Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]], she almost hit an injured {{an|Meloetta}} with her car. She discovered that it was suffering from a fever and gave Ash, Iris, and Cilan instructions on how to make it feel better. She was revealed to have a {{p|Glaceon}} which used {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the water. Cynthia and Ash broke the ice and took it to Meloetta.

After it recovered a little, Iris asked Cynthia if she could battle her and her Garchomp while she used {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, as Iris was thrilled to battle a {{type|Dragon}} she had never met before. Cynthia agreed and the battle got underway, in which Cynthia stopped the battle due to concerns her Garchomp may hurt Iris's Axew.
[[File:BWS2 gang.png|thumb|left|250px|Cynthia arriving with Ash and his friends at her Villa]]
In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', Ash and his friends arrived in Undella Town, at Cynthia's villa. During the get-together, [[Jervis]] and Cynthia argued far from the others about Meloetta. After that, Cynthia watched a battle between Dawn and Cilan, and then at dusk Cynthia joins the others to watch a song sung by Melloeta, but unlike the others, Cynthia watched with concern the presentation of [[Pokémon category|Melody Pokémon]].

During an incident with a wild {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} in ''[[BW089|Iris and the Rogue Dragonite!]]'', Jervis revealed that Cynthia has traveled to [[Lacunosa Town]] to begin preparations for the competition.
[[File:Alder and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia and Alder]]
In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Cynthia was seen talking with [[Alder]] in [[Lacunosa Town]], where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup was held, until they are interrupted by the arrival of Ash and [[Trip]]. Later, she participated in an exhibition match with her Garchomp against Unova Elite Four member [[Caitlin]] and her {{p|Gothitelle}}.

Cynthia then appeared in ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', where she observed the tournament and helped Iris with {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}'s problem with listening to her commands and gave [[Trip]] some advice. After the conversation Trip thought to himself that after defeating Alder, she would be next and during the battle between Iris and Dawn, Cynthia showed deep interest in Dragonite's performance and relationship with Iris.

In the [[BW092|following episode]], Cynthia was seen watching the battle of Iris against Ash and after the battle, Cynthia talked to Iris about their relationships with Pokémon and that motivated Iris to keep doing her best with Dragonite.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Cynthia was seen watching the battle Trip was allowed to have against Alder for winning the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup. After this, Cynthia attended the closing ceremony and everyone returns to Cynthia's Villa where Ash and the others will stay for a few more days.

Back in Undella Town, she watched a battle between Ash and Dawn, which Cynthia evaluated to be a tie between the two and later went with the others to wave Dawn farewell when she went to [[Johto]]. Soon after, Cynthia witnessed Ash and Cameron on their way to get a Badge at [[Humilau City]]'s Gym in ''[[BW090|The Road to Humilau!]]'' and remained in [[Lacunosa Town]] to help dismantle the competition's decorations.

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', during the last set-up of the competition, Cynthia was informed that Team Rocket attacked her villa behind Meloetta. When she met up with Ash's friends and Ridley, she became aware of the situation and they all headed towards the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when {{an|Giovanni}}'s plans advanced, Cynthia helped Ash and his friends put a stop to [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest and saved the Unova region from the {{an|Forces of Nature}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Forme}}'s rage with the help of Meloetta. At the end of the day, Cynthia joined the others to say goodbye to Meloetta.

Cynthia said goodbye to Ash in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'' after informing him that the [[Unova League]] was starting in a few weeks and wished everyone good luck in the future.

Cynthia also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Cynthia made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', watching Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] match against [[Volkner]] through television. Volkner revealed that she was participating in the World Coronation Series and had made it to the Master Class.
[[File:Ash and Eight Masters.png|250px|thumb|right|Cynthia in the Master Class]]
In ''[[JN083|Star Night, Star Flight!]]'', Cynthia encountered Ash and [[Goh]] while they were investigating a town in [[Johto]] that had been caught in an endless night. Goh and Ash then talked to Cynthia about a girl they met earlier and a Pokémon that they thought was an {{p|Unown}}. The three than met up with {{OBP|Tiara|JN083}} and her mother and asked if the Pokémon she'd seen the previous day was an Unown with Tiara confirmed. After explaining how she'd met the Unown, Tiara became upset, claiming she wanted to see the stars as the Unown had made it endless night's to help her to find her {{p|Cleffa}} again. This caused the Unown to attack Cynthia, Ash, and Goh, but were eventually defeated thanks to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. Tiara apologized for being selfish and the town became day again.

Cynthia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', along with other Masters Eight Trainers.

She appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', where Ash and [[Chloe]] met her at the [[Canalave Library]], looking for information about Palkia. When they exited the library later, they were attacked by the [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]. Cynthia battled against them, forcing them to retreat, with Ash and Chloe pursuing them to their world. During the climax of the battle between {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Cynthia found a portal where she could see Ash and the [[Ash's friends|others]]. When everyone decided to get together and ask {{p|Arceus}} to help, Cynthia joined the residents of the normal world and the Alternate World to get everything sorted out. When it all came to an end, Cynthia welcomed Ash, Dawn, Goh, and Chloe on their arrival in the normal world.

During the [[Sinnoh Fair]] in [[JNS01]], Cynthia reunited with Ash, Goh, and Dawn again and revealed that she was organizing part of the event. Next, Cynthia gave a lecture and details for them about Sinnoh's [[Hisui|past]]. At the end of the event, Cynthia hosted a catching competition where the three should capture one of the Pokémon that were [[Starter Pokémon|given to Trainers]] from the region's bygone eras: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, and {{p|Rowlet}}. Upon completing the objectives, Cynthia gave each of them a book with the ancient history of Sinnoh.

A short time later, unaware that [[Team Galactic]] had returned, Dawn contacted Cynthia to help with a strange phenomenon occurring at [[Mount Coronet]] in [[JNS02]] and in the [[JNS03|next episode]]. Cynthia joined Ash, Dawn, {{an|Brock}}, and Goh in battle during the return of Team Galactic, who sought to rescue [[Cyrus]] from the dimension he was trapped in. Cynthia single-handedly defeated [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]]'s Pokémon using her {{p|Roserade}} and lent Garchomp so Brock can help save a {{p|Heatran}} that was out of control.

In [[JNS04]], Cynthia managed to arrest the Team Galactic {{tc|Commander}}s as they try to escape, joining then Ash and his friends. Together, they asked for help from {{p|Arceus}} who, together with the {{an|lake guardians}}, managed to avoid the worst. Lastly, Cynthia watched along with Brock while Ash and his friends trying to save Heatran from inside the massive monster formed by Arceus's [[Flame Plate]].

In [[JN109]], Cynthia was revealed to be ranked as the second-strongest Trainer in the Master Class behind {{an|Leon}}.
[[File:JN123.png|thumb|left|250px|Cynthia facing Ash]]
In [[JN115]], Cynthia participated in [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash and Iris, and meeting [[Alain]] and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be Iris. After [[Diantha]] and {{an|Lance}}'s battle concluded in [[JN116|the following episode]], Cynthia and Iris began their battle. In [[JN117|the next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle against the [[Unova]] Champion, advancing her to the semifinals.

In [[JN118]], Cynthia watched Ash and {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s battle, where the [[Alola]] Champion emerged victorious. After the battle, Cynthia was shown to be looking forward to battling Ash in the semifinals.

In [[JN123]], Cynthia revealed to [[Diantha]] that she intended to retire from competitive battling following the Masters Tournament. She then begun her battle against Ash and quickly managed to gain the upper hand, knocking out half of his team with just her {{p|Spiritomb}}.

===Character===
[[File:Cynthia and Professor Carolina.png|thumb|220px|left|Cynthia and her grandmother]]
Cynthia is astoundingly powerful and well-respected as [[Sinnoh]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}}. Often regarded with the imposing presence of a queen on the battlefield, she is measured in her battling style, and while she attacks in quick succession, she prefers not to exhaust either hers or her opponents' {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} outside of official matches. As shown in her battle with Ash, she frequently substitutes her Pokémon to disrupt her opponent's momentum and gain various advantages.
[[File:Diantha and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia with Iris and Diantha]]
Cynthia has a calm demeanor, not showing the slightest of stress even in the heat of {{pkmn|battle}}. Even when surprised by an opponent's tactic, she maintains her level-headed and calm demeanor, silently or verbally praising them. As an archeologist, Cynthia is incredibly wise and well-versed in the Sinnoh time-space legends. On her return in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Cynthia is seen studying various mythologies and regions of the world, showing know a lot about Pokémon from other regions like [[Alola]] or [[Unova]].

Throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' she often quoted ''"When every life meets another life, something will be born"'', a line directly from the Sinnoh time-space legends. She is particularly interested in the [[friendship]] between Trainers and their Pokémon, and enjoys mentoring young Trainers, and willingly offers advice to support their growth such as {{Ash}}, [[Paul]], {{an|Iris}}, and [[Unova League]]'s [[Caitlin]].

In her spare time, if any, Cynthia makes sure to unwind at her [[Undella Town]] villa. She also has a sweet tooth, as shown in many of her appearances; however, she often struggles on which flavor to choose as shown in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' and ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''.

===Pokémon===
The only permanent member of Cynthia's team is {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Despite Cynthia not having a speciality type, she is well known for her affinity for {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon; because of this, Cynthia uses powerful Pokémon of that type like {{p|Garchomp}} and {{p|Kommo-o}}, which led to her being challenged by {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''.

Cynthia is rarely seen using any other Pokémon besides her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, however, in extreme moments, she has resorted to other Pokémon on her team, and they appear similarly well trained, for example, {{p|Gastrodon}} being able to easily defeat [[Aaron's Beautifly]] despite having received a doubly [[Type#Type effectiveness|super effective]] {{m|Solar Beam}} and her Kommo-o being able to thwart [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]'s initial plans.

This listing is of Cynthia's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

==Trivia==
[[File:Verity mother.png|thumb|250px|Cynthia's lookalike in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
* Not counting the main characters, Cynthia has appeared in more episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} than any other {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** She also has more known Pokémon under her ownership than any other Champion besides {{Ash}}.
* [[Verity]], a main character in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', has a mother who bears a [[Anime character recycling|remarkable resemblance]] to Cynthia. Though the {{pkmn|movie}} is set in an alternate continuity from the main series, director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] has repeatedly confirmed that the woman isn't Cynthia.<ref>https://www.pscp.tv/w/1OwxWWyEOXMxQ?t=1h05m</ref>
* Cynthia owning a {{p|Kommo-o}} could be a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to [[Pokémon Masters EX]], where [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Cynthia}} owns one as well.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The second semifinal match of the [[World Coronation Series|Pokémon World Coronation Series]] [[Masters Tournament]] prepares to begin, the winner earning the right to face Monarch {{an|Leon}} in the finals. At one end of the stadium, [[Goh]] is giving {{Ash}} and his [[Party|team]] words of encouragement, while at the other end, [[Diantha]] is doing the same with {{an|Cynthia}}, believing she could be the one to end Leon's unbroken winning streak. To the surprise of the [[Kalos]] [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]], Cynthia reveals to that she intends to retire from {{pkmn|battle|battling}} once the tournament has ended.

The first {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Alola]] and the {{pkmn|world}}-famous [[Sinnoh]] Champion both enter the battlefield. As per usual, [[Gym guide|Dan]] explains the rules: the match is a six-on-six [[Full Battle]], with no limits to how many times each {{pkmn|Trainer}} is allowed to [[recall|change]] their Pokémon, and each of them may only use one of either [[Dynamax]], [[Mega Evolution]], or [[Z-Move]]s per battle. While the announcer wonders if they will use the same cards they did in the quarterfinals, the two Champions send out their first Pokémon. Ash's choice is his {{AP|Dragonite}}, while Cynthia unexpectedly leads with the {{pkmn|category|Forbidden Pokémon}} {{p|Spiritomb}}. Backstage, Diantha notes that Cynthia has instantly seized control by leading with a Pokémon that no one anticipated. As the signal to start the match is given, Ash orders a {{m|Draco Meteor}} as his first [[move]], only for Dragonite to be struck back by Spiritomb's {{m|Sucker Punch}}. After getting back on its feet, the Dragon Pokémon completes the use of Draco Meteor, only for Spiritomb to just shrug it off and laugh mockingly. Ash tries to follow up with a {{m|Dragon Claw}} but ends up getting stopped in his tracks by {{m|Hypnosis}}, causing Dragonite to fall {{status|asleep}}. Spiritomb follows this up by repeatedly using {{m|Dream Eater}}, gradually draining away Dragonite's energy. Ash's pleas for his Pokémon to wake up prove fruitless, with the end result of Dragonite being defeated in its sleep without managing to deal any real damage to Cynthia.

While Ash recalls Dragonite and prepares to send out his next Pokémon, Cynthia abruptly recalls Spiritomb as well. Both Trainers' second Pokémon, {{AP|Gengar}} and {{p|Roserade}}, enter the field simultaneously. Roserade's {{m|Bullet Seed}} fails to do much damage due to being {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|not very effective}}, while Roserade unflinchingly takes a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. The next exchange of moves comes in the form of a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and a {{m|Leaf Storm}}, with both attacks striking their mark. With Roserade now suffering from a {{status|burn}}, Cynthia recalls it and returns Spiritomb to the battlefield. Yet again, another exchange of attacks is made, this time between a {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} and a Sucker Punch. While both sides suffer super effective damage and get back up, unlike Spiritomb, Gengar ends up falling back down and [[fainting]], increasing Cynthia's lead.

Once more, Ash recalling his fainted partner is accompanied by Cynthia withdrawing Spiritomb, this time in favor of {{p|Togekiss}}. Just as Cynthia predicted, Ash responds by calling forth his loyal and strongest partner, {{AP|Pikachu}}, in the hopes of turning things around. Pikachu's series of {{m|Thunderbolt}}s fails to make contact with the swiftly moving {{t|Flying}} type, who attacks back successfully with {{m|Air Slash}}. When Togekiss follows up with {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, Ash finds Pikachu [[flinch]]ing and unable to prevent himself from being hit. Diantha and Leon realize that Togekiss's [[Ability]], {{a|Serene Grace}}, helped to make this happen. Making yet another switch, Cynthia sends out her {{p|Gastrodon}} to take the type advantage over Pikachu. Aiming to take out Pikachu here and now, she orders an {{m|Earth Power}}. Pikachu evades the attack by jumping high into the air using the slabs of earth flung up by it, once again following Cynthia's prediction. When Pikachu starts using {{m|Iron Tail}} next, Cynthia has Gastrodon use {{m|Stone Edge}}. This time, though, things are going according to Ash's plan, as, instead of directly attacking Gastrodon, the Iron Tail slices off the tops of some of the stone pillars created by Stone Edge and sends them flying at Gastrodon. While Gastrodon manages to catch the rocks and absorb the impact, this leaves it immobilized and defenseless, allowing Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} to smash through the rocks and into Gastrodon, finally giving Ash a knockout of his own.

Cynthia admires Ash's skill to find an opportunity in the midst of a crisis and Pikachu's ability to exploit it as she recalls her fainted Pokémon. Spiritomb then rejoins the battle yet again, though now, Ash feels ready for it and tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt while spinning. The resulting vortex of electricity not only successfully repels Spiritomb's Hypnosis, but also strikes it at the same time. Ash identifies the strategy as [[Counter Shield]], a tactic that he came up with while [[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|he was traveling through Sinnoh]] and which Cynthia recognizes from the [[Lily of the Valley Conference|Sinnoh League]]. Ash assures Cynthia that he's grown much stronger since then and has Pikachu ensnare Spiritomb in an {{m|Electroweb}}, successfully avoiding a Sucker Punch in the process. As Pikachu goes for a finishing Iron Tail, Ash's attention is drawn to Cynthia giving Spiritomb permission to perform an unknown action moments before Pikachu's move hits. The Forbidden Pokémon retreats into its [[Odd Keystone]] and the audience cheers, but while Dan inspects Spiritomb, a black energy suddenly leaks from the keystone and envelops Pikachu. At first, the energy appears to do nothing but suddenly Pikachu uncontrollably seizes up. The announcer recognizes the display as {{m|Destiny Bond}}, Spiritomb's last-second move, whose effect has now activated. Pikachu is instantly drained of all his remaining strength, causing him to faint alongside Spiritomb. With this double-knockout, Ash's ace, as described by Diantha, has been eliminated and his ability to use {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} has been removed, giving him a severe handicap as Cynthia continues to stay in control of the battle.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Following {{an|Lillie}}'s [[JN111|family reunion]] at the [[Crown Tundra]], {{Ash}}, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] have joined them on a journey back to [[Alola]], with Chloe being excited to visit the [[region]] for the first time. They arrive on [[Melemele Island]], where {{an|Mallow}}'s family has organized a big feast to celebrate [[Mohn]]'s homecoming. Lillie is overjoyed to meet {{ashcl|her classmates}} again, while [[Hobbes]], {{an|Faba}}, and [[Wicke]] are shedding tears for seeing Mohn return home safe and sound. While everyone and their Pokémon feast, [[Chloe's Eevee]] meets {{an|Lana}}'s {{p|Eevee}}, [[Sandy]], and they quickly befriend each other. Chloe goes over to Lana to talk about Sandy, telling her how she and her Eevee have met many of [[Eeveelution|Eevee's evolutions]], but are still unsure which of them she should choose. Lana tells Chloe that there's also one more possible path to consider: not [[Evolution|evolving]] Eevee at all, similar to how [[Ash's Pikachu]] has chosen not to evolve. Meanwhile, Goh notices the absence of {{an|Kiawe}}, which is explained to be due to him having gone off to {{pkmn|training|train}} at [[Wela Volcano Park|Wela Volcano]] as soon as he had heard that Ash was coming back to Alola. Ash's classmates also note that they watched his [[World Coronation Series]] [[JN109|Promotion Match]], since he's the [[Alola League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. While the conversation continues, {{an|Gladion}} wanders into the nearby woods to do some training of his own.

Once the feast is over, Ash, Goh, and Chloe gather at {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, where they learn that there's going to be a [[Battle Royal]] at the [[Battle Royal Dome]] the next day. While Kukui wants to keep Ash's opponents a secret, he does reveal that he is one of them. Ash asks if Kukui if he'll be appearing as the Masked Royal, but while Kukui briefly agrees to put on his costume, he makes it clear that he'll be facing Ash as himself, since Ash is the Alola League Champion and therefore the star of the show. Eager for what's to come, Ash invites his Pokémon to do some training.

The next day, the attention of the entire Alola region is focused on the Battle Royal Dome as the Battle Royal to celebrate the Alola League Champion's homecoming is about to begin. Working as the MCs, Faba and Wicke introduce the competitors. To no surprise, the first competitor is Ash, accompanied by Pikachu. The next participant is Professor Kukui, the founder of the Alola League, joined by his partner, {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. The third team is the [[island kahuna]] hopeful Kiawe and his {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}}. Finally, last but not least, the final participating team is the Alola League runner-up Gladion and {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie}} the {{p|Nihilego}}.

With the ring of a bell, the Battle Royal is underway. Ash and Pikachu immediately find themselves under a relentless assault as all of his opponents target Pikachu with their attacks, an example of how in a Battle Royal, anyone can target anybody. A second volley of attacks is launched at Pikachu in the form of Lillie's {{m|Meteor Beam}}, Marowak's {{m|Flare Blitz}}, and Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, but Pikachu manages to evade them all by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, utilizing his great {{stat|Speed}} to his advantage. A third wave of attacks is likewise evaded, with Pikachu even managing to knock Incineroar off-balance with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Kukui notes that Ash has gotten stronger, but Kiawe and Gladion assure that so have they. Pikachu counters the next barrage with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, following up with an {{m|Electroweb}}. While Incineroar briefly gets trapped in it due to {{m|Blast Burn}}'s {{status|recharging}} time, it quickly escapes from it with {{m|Throat Chop}}, meeting Pikachu's flurry of Iron Tails with its own rapid-fire attacks, until they're forced apart by Lillie's Meteor Beam.

For the first time in the match, Kiawe targets someone else than Ash, having Marowak attack Lillie with {{m|Shadow Bone}} while swearing to be the one to defeat Ash. Gladion responds with the same vow and has Lillie attack Marowak with {{m|Venoshock}}. Marowak avoids the attack and strikes back with {{m|Iron Head}}, taking Gladion's [[Ultra Beast]] out of the fight. Despite this loss, though, Mohn and {{an|Lusamine}} are still proud of their son as they watch him from the audience. Kiawe then turns his attention back to Ash and declares that he'll be going all out, starting to perform his [[Z-Move]] poses with Marowak. As Marowak's {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} goes off, Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt to propel himself upwards, successfully evading the Z-Move. At that moment, Kukui and Incineroar reenter the fray with another Darkest Lariat, which hits both Pikachu and Marowak, taking the latter out of the match.

With Ash and Kukui being the only competitors left, they can't help but be reminded of [[SM144|the time when they faced each other]] in the Alola League {{wp|Exhibition game|exhibition match}}. Ash is snapped out of his reminiscing when he hears the entire dome chanting in support for their Champion. He is taken aback at first, but soon enough, he begins to embrace the cheering and support the entire region is giving him with a smile. Goh and Chloe are also initially surprised when they come to fully realize that Ash is a local celebrity. Kiawe and Gladion tell Ash to win the [[Masters Tournament]] as a representative of Alola and encourage him to use his full power. Happily accepting this request, Ash tosses [[Ash's hat|his hat]] to [[Pikachu in a cap|Pikachu]] as they begin to perform their own Z-Move. Professor Kukui responds in kind, and a brilliant flash illuminates the Battle Royal Dome as Pikachu's {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} and Incineroar's {{m|Malicious Moonsault}} clash in a powerful display of [[signature move|signature]] Z-Moves.

Later, Professor Kukui meets Ash at the beach near his house and asks what he's thinking about. Looking at the sunset, Ash says that he's happy he came to Alola. Suddenly, they're greeted by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who performs a dance that Kukui interprets as it praying for Ash's victory. Ash promises to do his best in the Masters Tournament and watches as Tapu Koko flies away, smiling at the knowledge that the entire Alola region is supporting him as he heads towards his greatest challenge yet.

Pokémon Contest

2022-07-28T02:41:18Z

Swift4Sweeper: /* Sinnoh Contests */ Added Dawn's Piplup to Jubilife appeal round, as it was not present beforehand

:''This article is about contests in [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|VI}}. For the contests in [[Generation IV]] see [[Pokémon Super Contest]], and for [[Generation VIII]] see [[Super Contest Show]]''
----
[[File:ORAS Contest art.png|thumb|300px|{{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} participating in a Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]
'''Pokémon Contests''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト''' ''Pokémon Contest'') are a type of competition often contrasted with [[Pokémon battle]]s and held in [[Contest Hall]]s. Pokémon are judged on their [[Contest condition|condition]] and [[move]]s in two rounds, to determine which one is the best of its category.

==In the games==
:''See more: [[List of Contest opponents (Generation III)]]''
:''See more: [[List of Contest opponents (Generation VI)]]''

Pokémon Contests are in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and in their [[Generation VI]] [[remake]]s [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] under the name '''Pokémon Contest Spectaculars''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテストライブ''' ''Pokémon Contest Live''). A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} enters a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in one of five [[Contest condition|categories]]: {{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, or {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness and compete against three other Coordinators in two rounds. In [[Generation IV]], these basic ideas were expanded upon with [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [[photography|photos]] can be taken at any point in a Contest Spectacular, and the player is able to save the last photo taken into the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Camera. In addition, the 3DS Camera can be used to provide a real-life background during the Talent Round of a Pokémon Contest. This option can be turned on or off by speaking to a man in the Contest Hall who describes this special effect as projecting a "hologram" through the entire hall.

===Primary judging===
[[File:ORAS Contest Introduction Round.png|thumb|200px|Audience cheering for Milotic in the Introduction Round]]
[[File:ORAS Contest Introduction Round Special.png|thumb|200px|Special introduction shown in a Cuteness Contest]]
In the first round, the four Pokémon are rated based on their [[Contest condition|condition]]. The audience votes on the Pokémon that looks the coolest, most beautiful, cutest, most clever, or toughest, depending on the category of the contest. Condition stats that are liked by the audience and the Pokémon's [[sheen]] also beneficially influence the votes. To raise a Pokémon's condition, Coordinators prepare [[Pokéblock]]s of specific colors and feed them to their Pokémon. In Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, how well a Pokémon does in this phase is shown by the number of hearts that appear over the audience members' heads.

This portion is known as the '''Introduction Round''' (Japanese: '''おひろめ''' ''Unveiling'') in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In these games, how well a Pokémon does in this phase is shown by the amount of clapping, whistling, and {{wp|glow stick}}s that appear in the audience. Additionally, a special introduction is shown for the Pokémon with the highest score in this round. If multiple contestants are tied for the highest score, each of them will get the special introduction.

Within the game itself, the audience score is based on the sum of the following:
* The full value of the condition in the contest's primary condition stat
* 50% of the value of the condition in each of the contest's secondary condition stats
* 50% of the value of the Pokémon's overall sheen, except that sheen is not tracked in Generation VI and is therefore not included in the formula there

In Generation III, [[Scarf|Scarves]] held by the Pokémon raise the matching colored condition stat by 20 points, but not to more than 255. Thus, if the Pokémon is holding a scarf corresponding to the contest's primary condition stat (and the stat is 235 or lower), it will gain 20 points in the final total, but if the Pokémon is holding a scarf corresponding to either contest's secondary condition stats, it will gain 10 points in the final total. In Generation VI, there is simply a 20-point bonus for holding a scarf that matches the contest type, even if the corresponding stat is already maxed out; scarves for any other contest type have no effect.

The table below shows the minimum number of points required to achieve a given number of hearts.

===Secondary judging===
[[File:ORAS Contest Appeal.png|thumb|200px|Roselia using Magical Leaf in the Talent Round]]
{{main|Appeal}}
In the secondary judging, the four Pokémon take turns appealing (i.e. using certain [[move]]s in front of an appointed judge). They are able to affect the performances of each other. Effects on other Pokémon include [[Jamming|reducing their number of hearts]], making them nervous, and so forth. Moves that are of the same category as the contest the user is competing in may excite the audience, and if the audience becomes extremely excited, the Pokémon scores extra hearts. Each appeal heart earned in this round has the same effect as 20 points in the previous round.

[[Contest combination|Move combinations]] also score extra hearts. The amount of extra points vary between [[generation]]s; in [[Generation III]], the follow-up move of a combination receives double the base Appeal it would have earned otherwise, while in [[Generation VI]] the follow-up move receives a bonus of exactly 3 Appeal hearts.

Using a move repeatedly (unless the move's effect specifically mentions otherwise) will bore the audience in the [[Contest Hall|hall]], resulting in point deduction, and preventing the excitement from increasing even if the move is of the correct type. In Generation III, the Pokémon will lose two hearts the first time a move is repeated, three hearts the second time, and so on. In Generation VI, the Pokémon will only lose one heart every time a move is repeated.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, this portion is known as the '''Talent Round''' (Japanese: '''アピール審査''' ''Appeal Examination''), during which Coordinators can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] their Pokémon when the crowd's excitement reaches its peak. Additionally, pressing the touch screen to the left of the camera button causes the audience to clap, while pressing to the right of the camera button causes the audience to hoot.

===After judging===
[[File:ORAS Contest Winner.png|thumb|200px|Milotic announced as the winner]]
After the second round, the four Pokémon's results are shown. Here, stars represent how well the Pokémon did in the primary judging, while hearts indicate how well the Pokémon did in the secondary judging; both fill up the four Pokémon's meters. Each star represents 63 points obtained in the primary judging (rounded up to the nearest star), while each heart represents 80 points (four appeal hearts) obtained in the secondary judging.

The Pokémon whose meter becomes the highest (has the highest cumulative score, formed from the points obtained in the first round and double the value of the points obtained in the second round) is announced as the winner of the competition. In Pokémon Contests, the winning Pokémon is awarded a [[Ribbon]] for each of the four different ranks. In Pokémon Contest Spectaculars, however, a Ribbon is only earned after beating the Master Rank.

A small portrait of the winner is painted and placed in the [[Contest Hall]]. Additionally, an artist will paint a large painting if the winner of a Master Rank contest or multiplayer contest wins with at least 800 points. These larger paintings are displayed in the [[Lilycove Museum]]. In Generation III, if a Master Rank winner has already earned the Ribbon for that category and rank, the player will be given a [[Luxury Ball]].

===Contest ranks===
{{main|Rank (Contest)}}
There are four contest ranks: Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master. Every competition, as well as having one of the five categories, has one of these four ranks. In the Normal Rank, any Pokémon may enter. Any Pokémon that won a Normal Rank contest may move up to the Super Rank in the same category. Likewise, a Super Rank winner can move up to the Hyper Rank, and a Hyper Rank winner can advance to the Master Rank in the same category. In Pokémon Contest Spectaculars, any Pokémon may enter any unlocked rank.

In Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Contests of each rank are spread around the Hoenn region. In Emerald, however, Pokémon Contests of all four ranks are held in [[Lilycove City]]. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there are four Contest Halls across the region, but the player may enter Pokémon Contest Spectaculars of any rank in each Contest Hall.

===Multiplayer contests===
The {{player}} may participate in multiplayer contests by speaking to the Contest Hall receptionist on the right in [[Generation III]], and on the left in [[Generation VI]].

In Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Contests can only be held with four players. However, in Emerald, there are two multiplayer modes: E-Mode (Emerald Mode) and G-Mode (Global Mode). E-Mode allows two to four Emerald players to participate in multiplayer contests. If there are less than four players, the remaining slots will be filled in by computers. In G-Mode, four Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald players can participate.

===Awards===
In Generation VI, after a contest has ended, the player may talk to the audience members gathered near the entrances to Contest Halls to receive gifts. These [[Non-player character|NPCs]] serve as the player's fans. The higher the rank, the greater the number of fans gathering in the lobby. The maximum number of fans waiting for the player is 10. The following are lists of gifts the player may receive. Note that certain [[item]]s and {{Berries}} are given out only after competing in certain contest ranks.

==In the anime==
[[File:Contest judges.png|thumb|250px|The panel of judges]]
Pokémon Contests were introduced early on in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and, according to [[DPS01]], they originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. The competition is organized by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and allows {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s to show how skilled their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be. Winners are presented with a [[Ribbon]].

A Pokémon Contest is divided into two parts. In the first round, called the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], Coordinators have their Pokémon performing their [[move]]s in order to showcase their style and skill. The appeals are awarded points by a [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], usually formed by [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] from the organizing committee, [[Mr. Sukizo]] from the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Nurse Joy]] from the local [[Pokémon Center]]. The Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round. The number of Coordinators that advance to the second round varies. The second round is the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], in which Coordinators compete in [[Pokémon battle]]s while continuing to show off their Pokémon's style and skill. Each battle lasts five minutes and the object of the battle is to decrease the opponent's points. Coordinators lose points when their Pokémon are hit by an attack, when their Pokémon's attack fails, when the opponent's Pokémon performs a particularly appealing move, or when the opponent's Pokémon uses their Pokémon's attack to its own advantage. A battle can also end when one of the Pokémon is unable to battle, called {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} by the judges. In this case, the Coordinator with the remaining Pokémon is declared the winner.

A Coordinator needs a [[Contest Pass]] from a particular region to enter Pokémon Contests there. Coordinators who win five Ribbons of a specific region are able to enter that region's [[Grand Festival]]. A Ribbon won from events such as the [[Wallace Cup]] can be used in ''any'' region. Also, Ribbons do not expire, and multiple years can be used to collect the five needed for the Grand Festival. However, after being used to enter the Grand Festival, the five cannot be used again. Winners of the Grand Festival earn the [[Ribbon Cup]] and become [[Top Coordinator]]s.

[[File:Lopunny Kricketune Song Seal.png|thumb|left|250px|Nando's Pokémon sent out with Seals]]
In [[Hoenn]], Coordinators have to use the same Pokémon for both rounds—although there are exceptions—and the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] is [[Vivian Meridian]]. When {{an|May}} participated in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], two other Nurse Joys from Hoenn came as guest judges. The event was held in [[Slateport City]] and ran for [[AG121|three]] [[AG123|episodes]].

In [[Kanto]], Coordinators may enter different Pokémon for each round and the master of ceremonies is [[Lilian Meridian]]. The [[Kanto Grand Festival]] was held at [[Indigo Plateau]] during May's participation. For the competition, the Hoenn announcer, Vivian Meridian, joined the panel of judges while three other Nurse Joys gave scores. [[Jessie]], as Jessadiah, also hosted the event with Lilian. The competition also ran for [[AG180|three]] [[AG182|episodes]].

In [[Sinnoh]], Coordinators may enter different Pokémon for each round and generally dress up to compete. They also use [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s to enhance a Pokémon's entrance. Pokémon Contests in the Sinnoh region include both Single and [[Double Performance]]s, with the Grand Festival featuring the Double Performance format. The master of ceremonies for these events is [[Marian]]. During {{an|Dawn}}'s participation in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], Top Coordinator and [[Gym Leader]] [[Fantina]] joined the judges as a guest judge. The event was held at [[Lake Valor]] and ran for [[DP174|four]] [[DP177|episodes]].

In [[JN105]], a Contest Spectacular was held in [[Lilycove City]]. Unlike previous Contests in the anime, Contest Spectaculars do not feature Contest Battles. Instead, the winner is decided solely based on the Performance Stage. Moreover, Contest Spectaculars have {{OBP|Rank|Contest}}s, like in the games, and a draw for the first place is possible. [[Chloe]] competed in a Normal Rank Contest Spectacular, while {{an|Serena}} and [[Lisia]] competed in a Master Rank Contest Spectacular.

===Johto Contests===
In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', [[Drew]] and [[Harley]] announced that they, along with [[Solidad]], were heading to [[Johto]] to participate in Pokémon Contests there, and May decided to follow suit in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', May was revealed to have been participating in Johto Contests along with her rivals and already won three Ribbons. She returned to Johto following the end of the Wallace Cup in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'' to continue competing in Contests there.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup—Hello, Adventure!]]'', Dawn headed to compete in the Wallace Cup again, this time held in Johto. She had also participated in Johto Contests, as revealed in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]''.

===Unova Contests===
In ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', Dawn revealed that there are Pokémon Contests held in [[Unova]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Feefee Feebas Water Pulse Adventures.png|230px|thumb|Ruby taking part in a Contest]]
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Pokémon Contests were introduced in this chapter. Somewhat experienced Pokémon Coordinator {{adv|Ruby}} moved to the Hoenn region and ran away from home to participate in Pokémon Contests there, since [[Norman|his father]] was against him competing in such events. Ruby arranged a bet with {{adv|Sapphire}}, vowing to win all the Contest Ribbons in the region in 80 days. He was able to win every Ribbon, thus completing his part in the bet.

The formula of competition follows the one set in the games closely, sharing its two segments.

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Ruby is credited with the development of several features of the Pokémon Contest Spectacular, alongside [[Lisia]]. These include the designs of the [[Cosplay Pikachu]] costumes, the [[Contest Costume]]s to be worn by participating Trainers, and using [[Mega Evolution]] in an [[Appeal]].

==Trivia==
* The [[Rank (Contest)|contest ranks]] are named after the original [[Generation I]] [[Poké Ball]]s, although it seems the translation team did not catch this, as the ''Japanese'' Poké Ball names (Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master) are used in English versions. This was rectified in [[Generation IV]] in the ranks of {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s (Normal, Great, Ultra, and Master). However, the original names of the ranks were kept in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* For ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'' and ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]]s are about the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] and the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of Pokémon Contests, respectively. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about the Performance Stage: 「ポケモンが　かれいにまわるよ　コンテスト」 ''The Pokémon are spinning magnificently; a contest.'' He writes this senryū about the Battle Stage: 「ごふんかん　みせてしょうぶだ　コンテストバトル」 ''It's a five-minute battle for show; a Contest Battle.''
* The move {{m|Struggle}} has contest stats, despite the fact that Struggle cannot be used in contests, as it can only be used if the attacking Pokémon has no [[PP]].
** This is most likely to prevent the game from crashing if it is hacked in, since it is impossible to use Struggle in contests through normal gameplay. The contest stats seem to be the defaults.
* Contests are one of the few places in the [[Pokémon games]] one can find [[nickname]]d Pokémon. All Pokémon used by [[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s have nicknames.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, both [[series]] that featured Pokémon Contests featured 15 each. However, in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', all of them took place in [[Sinnoh]], while ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' featured seven in [[Kanto]] and eight in [[Hoenn]].
* Although the Contests are not held in [[Orre]], the player can see a move's Contest data in {{g|Colosseum|s}}.

'''Khoury''' (Japanese: '''カズナリ''' ''Kazunari'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and a traveling partner of {{an|Lyra}}.

==History==
[[File:Khoury catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|left|250px|Khoury after catching a Pokémon]]
Khoury debuted in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', where he traveled to [[Sinnoh]] with {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury's father|his father]] to take part in the [[Johto Festival]]. He wanted to visit Sinnoh so that he could observe and hopefully catch the {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|resident Pokémon}}. He was also interested in learning about [[Pokémon breeding]] and asked if {{an|Brock}} would mentor him.

In ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'', after encountering a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gible}}, Khoury became determined to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it to raise it into "an awesome {{p|Gabite}}", which he eventually did after a closely-fought competition with {{Ash}}, who had the same goal.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', he had a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Lyra against {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}. Despite his Totodile [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Khoury|Croconaw}} during the match, he and Lyra eventually lost. At the end, Khoury, his father, and Lyra left on a blimp headed to [[Johto]] and said their good-byes. Khoury had also agreed to become Lyra's traveling buddy, upon her request.

==Character==
Khoury tends to panic very easily but is always very excited to meet a new Pokémon.

After a battle between the Pokémon, Gible was eventually worn down and caught by Khoury. Afterwards, Gible was seen happily eating with the other Pokémon.

Gible's known moves are {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Dig}}.}}

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
All of [[Wyndon Stadium]] waits with anticipation as the fourth and final match of the [[World Coronation Series]] [[Masters Tournament]], featuring [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} and {{Ash}}, the first Champion of [[Alola]], prepares to begin. In the audience, {{TRT}}, still broadcasting the events of the tournament, are excited to see Ash battle, though [[Jessie]] believes Ash has no chance of victory against Steven. Meanwhile, [[Goh]] has [[Hop]] move over so that {{an|Iris}}, having desired to feel the excitement of the stadium in person like Ash had for [[JN115|the]] [[JN116|previous]] [[JN117|battles]], can join them in the bleachers. Hop is shocked to meet the Unova Champion in person, while Iris is excited to meet {{an|Leon|Leon's}} younger brother and affectionately cuddles up to {{p|Wooloo}}.

[[Gym guide|Dan]] recites the rules once more: the matches in the first round are three-on-three battles with no restrictions on time or [[Recall|exchanges]]. In addition, each Trainer is allowed only one use of either [[Dynamax]], [[Z-Move]]s, or [[Mega Evolution]]. Hop is surprised to see that Ash has the ability to use all three. Ash declares to Steven that he will be the one to advance to the semi-finals. Steven, eyeing Ash's [[Dynamax Band]], [[Z-Power Ring]] and [[Key Stone]], notes Ash's confidence despite the status and strength of the former. At Dan's signal, both [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] call out their first Pokémon. Steven chooses to lead with his ace, his {{Shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, while Ash selects {{AP|Dracovish}}. Backstage, Leon looks forward to seeing what Ash, the "rookie Champion", has to show.

At Dan's signal, the battle begins. Ash calls for {{m|Water Gun}}, but Metagross uses {{m|Agility}} to dodge and move in close. Ash then calls for {{m|Fishious Rend}} while Steven orders a {{m|Psychic}}. Fishious Rend manages to subdue Psychic and cause Metagross damage, but Dracovish is still sent flying back by the attack. Steven mutters that Ash predicted his strategy. In the audience, Goh notes that Fishious Rend's power increases if the attack goes first, while Iris adds that the move is boosted further by Dracovish's Ability {{a|Strong Jaw}}. Internally, Ash thanks [[Paul]] for [[JN114|showing him]] Metagross's strategy of approaching with Agility and then attacking with Psychic. Steven recalls Metagross in favor of {{p|Aggron}}. Steven notes that while he is the strongest Trainer in Hoenn, that alone is not enough for him, adding that he entered the World Coronation Series to become the world's strongest Trainer. Backstage, [[Diantha]] notes that she has never seen Steven so fired up before. Ash responds that it is the same for him, and that he will win the tournament for every person and Pokémon who has cheered them on to this point. Ash calls for {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but Aggron's {{m|Heavy Slam}} overpowers the attack and flings Dracovish back. Though Dracovish gets back on its feet and seems able to continue, it suddenly collapses and is ruled unable to battle by Dan. Iris is sad that Dracovish lost, while Ash recalls and thanks it for its effort. For his second Pokémon, he selects {{AP|Gengar}}, who immediately uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} to {{status|burn}} Aggron, causing it to stumble. Undeterred, Steven has Aggron use {{m|Smart Strike}}, which sends Gengar flying, but Aggron's burn saps more of its strength. Aggron uses {{m|Rock Tomb}} in an attempt to trap Gengar, but the latter uses {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} to easily free itself and hit Aggron. Once again Aggron takes damage from its burn and collapses to the ground, ruled unable to battle by Dan. At [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], all of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|Ash's Pokémon}}, especially his {{t|Fire|Fire-types}}, cheer in happiness.

Steven recalls and thanks Aggron, then sends out {{p|Cradily}} as his third Pokémon. Cradily uses {{m|Power Whip}}, surrounding Gengar with its many tentacles and striking it multiple times. The tentacles then wrap around Gengar, who struggles to break free. Steven then calls for {{m|Ingrain}}, which [[Alain]] notes will prevent Cradily from being recalled. Diantha takes this as a sign that Steven intends to defeat Gengar here and now. Ash orders a {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which scores a direct hit, however Ingrain slowly begins restoring Cradily's [[HP|health]]. Steven then calls for {{m|Meteor Beam}}, the attack's intense light blinding Ash and Gengar. Ash realizes he can fight light with light and shouts for Gengar to use Dazzling Gleam, which blocks Meteor Beam and results in a massive explosion that damages both Pokémon but also frees Gengar. Steven compliments Ash's strategy, the two Trainers calling for Power Whip and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar avoids several tentacles and launches its attack, but Cradily bats it aside and batters Gengar with its attack, flinging it into the ground where it is ruled unable to battle. Recalling Gengar, Ash selects {{AP|Pikachu}}, whom Steven calls Ash's greatest partner, for his final Pokémon. Knowing that {{t|Electric|Electric-type}} attacks are not very effective against {{t|Grass|Grass-types}} and Cradily still restoring health with Ingrain, plus Metagross waiting in the wings, Goh and Hop note that Ash needs to finish Cradily quickly. [[James]] and {{MTR}} are excited to see Pikachu, and now Jessie is cheering for Ash as well, ordering Pikachu to not lose. Steven orders Cradily to use {{m|Rock Blast}}, but Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} strikes [[Priority|first]]. Pikachu then leaps from one rock to another to gain height and wraps up Cradily's Power Whip with {{m|Electroweb}}, a manuever that leaves Leon impressed. With Cradily's tentacles out of the way, Pikachu lands a super-effective {{m|Iron Tail}}, taking Cradily out of the fight and leaving both sides with only one Pokémon left. Steven praises Ash's skill, remarking that every attack that the latter launches leave him surprised. Ash credits Gengar's efforts in assisting with Pikachu's victory.

Steven recalls Cradily and sends out Metagross once more. Immediately he grasps his [[Mega Stickpin]] and Mega Evolves Metagross. Ash calls for {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Metagross effortlessly avoids the attack, as well as several follow-up Thunderbolts. Metagross uses {{m|Meteor Mash}} which smashes into Pikachu and causes big damage. Diantha notes that Mega Metagross is said to have far superior strategic and information process capabilities than its base form, enabling it to predict Pikachu's every action with incredible accuracy. Ash calls for Iron Tail, but Metagross easily dodges again and smashes Pikachu into the ground with Psychic, though Pikachu is still able to continue. Ash's grimace gives way to a smile as he tosses [[Ash's hat|his hat]] to [[Pikachu in a cap|Pikachu]] as they begin to perform their Z-Move, much to the excitement and shock of the audience. Pikachu fires {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, but Metagross dodges and prepares to finish Pikachu with {{m|Flash Cannon}}, but the lightning bolts suddenly change direction and block Metagross's attack, as well as striking the {{pkmn|category|Iron Leg Pokémon}} and sending it plummeting to the ground. While Steven is in shock by the display, Pikachu strikes Metagross with Iron Tail, scoring the finishing blow on its opponent. Dan rules Metagross unable to battle and Ash the victor. With that, Ash advances to the semi-finals to battle {{an|Cynthia}}, who is excited at the prospect. In the audience, Goh and Iris dance with {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} in celebration while Hop calls Ash and his Pokémon incredible. Team Rocket is likewise thrilled with the upset, Jessie even believing that Ash might win the entire tournament. Steven congratulates Ash, attributing the victory to the feelings Ash and his partners have for each other coming together to form an incredible power. With the battle over, the four trainers advancing to the semi-finals have been decided: Leon, Diantha, Cynthia, and Ash.

Outside the stadium, Steven believes in Ash's ability to defeat Cynthia. Alain and Iris likewise tell Ash to win, which he promises to do. Ash says goodbye to the three, while inside the stadium, Leon looks down upon the battlefield impassively.

==Plot==
All of [[Wyndon Stadium]] waits with anticipation as the fourth and final match of the [[World Coronation Series]] [[Masters Tournament]], featuring [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} and {{Ash}}, the first Champion of [[Alola]], prepares to begin. In the audience, {{TRT}}, still broadcasting the events of the tournament, are excited to see Ash battle, though [[Jessie]] believes Ash has no chance of victory against Steven. Meanwhile, [[Goh]] has [[Hop]] move over so that {{an|Iris}}, having desired to feel the excitement of the stadium in person like Ash had for [[JN115|the]] [[JN116|previous]] [[JN117|battles]], can join them in the bleachers. Hop is shocked to meet the Unova Champion in person, while Iris is excited to meet {{an|Leon|Leon's}} younger brother and affectionately cuddles up to {{p|Wooloo}}.

[[Gym guide|Dan]] recites the rules once more: the matches in the first round are three-on-three battles with no restrictions on time or [[Recall|exchanges]]. In addition, each Trainer is allowed only one use of either [[Dynamax]], [[Z-Move]]s, or [[Mega Evolution]]. Hop is surprised to see that Ash has the ability to use all three. Ash declares to Steven that he will be the one to advance to the semi-finals. Steven, eyeing Ash's [[Dynamax Band]], [[Z-Power Ring]] and [[Key Stone]], notes Ash's confidence despite the status and strength of the former. At Dan's signal, both [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] call out their first Pokémon. Steven chooses to lead with his ace, his {{Shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, while Ash selects {{AP|Dracovish}}. Backstage, Leon looks forward to seeing what Ash, the "rookie Champion", has to show.

At Dan's signal, the battle begins. Ash calls for {{m|Water Gun}}, but Metagross uses {{m|Agility}} to dodge and move in close. Ash then calls for {{m|Fishious Rend}} while Steven orders a {{m|Psychic}}. Fishious Rend manages to subdue Psychic and cause Metagross damage, but Dracovish is still sent flying back by the attack. Steven mutters that Ash predicted his strategy. In the audience, Goh notes that Fishious Rend's power increases if the attack goes first, while Iris adds that the move is boosted further by Dracovish's Ability {{a|Strong Jaw}}. Internally, Ash thanks [[Paul]] for [[JN114|showing him]] Metagross's strategy of approaching with Agility and then attacking with Psychic. Steven recalls Metagross in favor of {{p|Aggron}}. Steven notes that while he is the strongest Trainer in Hoenn, that alone is not enough for him, adding that he entered the World Coronation Series to become the world's strongest Trainer. Backstage, [[Diantha]] notes that she has never seen Steven so fired up before. Ash responds that it is the same for him, and that he will win the tournament for every person and Pokémon who has cheered them on to this point. Ash calls for {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but Aggron's {{m|Heavy Slam}} overpowers the attack and flings Dracovish back. Though Dracovish gets back on its feet and seems able to continue, it suddenly collapses and is ruled unable to battle by Dan. Iris is sad that Dracovish lost, while Ash recalls and thanks it for its effort. For his second Pokémon, he selects {{AP|Gengar}}, who immediately uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} to {{status|burn}} Aggron, causing it to stumble. Undeterred, Steven has Aggron use {{m|Smart Strike}}, which sends Gengar flying, but Aggron's burn saps more of its strength. Aggron uses {{m|Rock Tomb}} in an attempt to trap Gengar, but the latter uses {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} to easily free itself and hit Aggron. Once again Aggron takes damage from its burn and collapses to the ground, ruled unable to battle by Dan. At [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], all of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|Ash's Pokémon}}, especially his {{t|Fire|Fire-types}}, cheer in happiness.

Steven recalls and thanks Aggron, then sends out {{p|Cradily}} as his third Pokémon. Cradily uses {{m|Power Whip}}, surrounding Gengar with its many tentacles and striking it multiple times. The tentacles then wrap around Gengar, who struggles to break free. Steven then calls for {{m|Ingrain}}, which [[Alain]] notes will prevent Cradily from being recalled. Diantha takes this as a sign that Steven intends to defeat Gengar here and now. Ash orders a {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which scores a direct hit, however Ingrain slowly begins restoring Cradily's [[HP|health]]. Steven then calls for {{m|Meteor Beam}}, the attack's intense light blinding Ash and Gengar. Ash realizes he can fight light with light and shouts for Gengar to use Dazzling Gleam, which blocks Meteor Beam and results in a massive explosion that damages both Pokémon but also frees Gengar. Steven compliments Ash's strategy, the two Trainers calling for Power Whip and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar avoids several tentacles and launches its attack, but Cradily bats it aside and batters Gengar with its attack, flinging it into the ground where it is ruled unable to battle. Recalling Gengar, Ash selects {{AP|Pikachu}}, whom Steven calls Ash's greatest partner, for his final Pokémon. Knowing that {{t|Electric|Electric-type}} attacks are not very effective against {{t|Grass|Grass-types}} and Cradily still restoring health with Ingrain, plus Metagross waiting in the wings, Goh and Hop note that Ash needs to finish Cradily quickly. [[James]] and {{MTR}} are excited to see Pikachu, and now Jessie is cheering for Ash as well, ordering Pikachu to not lose. Steven orders Cradily to use {{m|Rock Blast}}, but Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} strikes [[Priority|first]]. Pikachu then leaps from one rock to another to gain height and wraps up Cradily's Power Whip with {{m|Electroweb}}, a manuever that leaves Leon impressed. With Cradily's tentacles out of the way, Pikachu lands a super-effective {{m|Iron Tail}}, taking Cradily out of the fight and leaving both sides with only one Pokémon left. Steven praises Ash's skill, remarking that every attack that the latter launches leave him surprised. Ash credits Gengar's efforts in assisting with Pikachu's victory.

Steven recalls Cradily and sends out Metagross once more. Immediately he grasps his [[Mega Stickpin]] and Mega Evolves Metagross. Ash calls for {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Metagross effortlessly avoids the attack, as well as several follow-up Thunderbolts. Metagross uses {{m|Meteor Mash}} which smashes into Pikachu and causes big damage. Diantha notes that Mega Metagross is said to have far superior strategic and information process capabilities than its base form, enabling it to predict Pikachu's every action with incredible accuracy. Ash calls for Iron Tail, but Metagross easily dodges again and smashes Pikachu into the ground with Psychic, though Pikachu is still able to continue. Ash's grimace gives way to a smile as he tosses [[Ash's hat|his hat]] to [[Pikachu in a cap|Pikachu]] as they begin to perform their Z-Move, much to the excitement and shock of the audience. Pikachu fires {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, but Metagross dodges and prepares to finish Pikachu with {{m|Flash Cannon}}, but the lightning bolts suddenly change direction and block Metagross's attack, as well as striking the {{pkmn|category|Iron Leg Pokémon}} and sending it plummeting to the ground. While Steven is in shock by the display, Pikachu strikes Metagross with Iron Tail, scoring the finishing blow on its opponent. Dan rules Metagross unable to battle and Ash the victor. With that, Ash advances to the semi-finals to battle {{an|Cynthia}}, who is excited at the prospect. In the audience, Goh and Iris dance with {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} in celebration while Hop calls Ash and his Pokémon incredible. Team Rocket is likewise thrilled with the upset, Jessie even believing that Ash might win the entire tournament. Steven congratulates Ash, attributing the victory to the feelings Ash and his partners have for each other coming together to form an incredible power. With the battle over, the four trainers advancing to the semi-finals have been decided: Leon, Diantha, Cynthia, and Ash.

Outside the stadium, Steven believes in Ash's ability to defeat Cynthia. Alain and Iris likewise tell Ash to win, which he promises to do. Ash says goodbye to the three, while inside the stadium, Leon looks down upon the battlefield impassively.
